PPC communications this week
As with past years and all the events surrounding the NCAA Frozen Four, we will likely be sending additional email messages to Power Play Club members this week as warranted, including our regular Penalty Box Post. We will also be sharing information via the PPC Facebook and X feeds.
We encourage fans to also watch the GWH team's Facebook and X accounts for any breaking announcements.
Goals for a Goal – Gophers up to 151 (and still counting)
With 3 goals in the NCAA Quarterfinal, the Gopher Women's Hockey team has lit the lamp 151 times this season, 35 of which have come on the power play!! Thanks to everyone who has pledged to the Goals for a Goal campaign to convert each of those goals into donations back to the program. If you have not yet made a pledge, we encourage you to online at z.umn.edu/GoalsForAGoal, with the option to double the amount for power play tallies! Thanks, and GO GOPHERS!
Gophers hold off Colgate to advance to Frozen Four!!
Abbey Murphy netted a pair of power-play goals and a shot from Sydney Morrow hit the pipe and the goaltender on its way into the net to extend Minnesota's lead to 3-0 after two periods. Colgate battled back with two 3rd-period goals to cut their deficit to one, but they were unable to find the equalizer as Hannah Clark posted a 24-save performance to send the Gophers to the NCAA Hockey Frozen Four next weekend back at Ridder Arena after a 3-2 quarterfinal victory!
