Through two periods Zumwinkle has just the one goal, but if she's played a more dominant game in her Gopher career I don't remember it.Minnesota 2, Ohio State 1 after two periods. The Gophers are taking over this game, with a Zumwinkle goal after some nifty back-and-forth with Heise on a 2-on-1 and Amy Potomak crashing the net and deflecting in a Woken shot/pass.

WI up 2-1 on BSU to start the third.
Final is Minnesota 4, Wisconsin 2.
ARM said between periods that it was an uncharacteristically sloppy game for the Badgers. I'd put it a bit differently. The Gophers were able to impose their preferred tempo to the game, and Wisconsin just isn't as good at that.
Not that would have made much difference, but pretty amazing to go an entire game with no penalties. Late in the second, Bowlby got taken into the boards so hard that she had trouble getting up, so much so that they blew play dead. Well geez, guys, if she got taken in that hard, maybe call a penalty?
There were plenty of marginal non-calls both ways, but that wasn't one of them. That was two players locked up, hitting the boards at close to full speed. It wasn't a check, just her own momentum.
