Women’s hockey: Mavericks complete sweep of No. 2 Gophers
Mercury Bischoff’s hat trick included a go-ahead power-play goal as Minnesota State Mankato finished a weekend sweep of No. 2 Minnesota with a 4-1 victory Saturday afternoon in Mankato.
Bischoff’s third goal was an empty netter with 1 minute, 48 seconds left that clinched the Mavericks’ first sweep against their WCHA rival since 2006.
Josefin Bouveng tied the game for the Gophers (12-4-0, 8-4-0) off an assist by Abbey Murphy in the first period, but Mavericks goalie Hailey Hansen made 27 saves as the Mavericks (8-7-1, 4-7-1) scored the next three goals, one from Whitney Tuttle to take a 3-1 lead into the third period.
The Mavericks won, 3-1, Friday night at Ridder Arena before completing the sweep at Mayo Clinic Event Center.
