Women’s Hockey: RMU – 1; Minnesota – 6

RMU women’s hockey (8-9-4, 6-1-1 CHA) didn’t have themselves much of weekend after they took an ugly loss to the second nationally ranked University of Minnesota Gophers (16-2-1, 9-2-1 WCHA) by a final of 6-1. The Colonials’ only dent against the Gophers came in the first at 5:18 when Jaycee Gebhard scored RMU’s only goal with assistance from Amber Rennie. Everything else was all Minnesota’s doing. The first period goals came from Grace Zumwinkle at 4:13, Emily Brown at 13:34, Taylor Wente at 14:34 and Kelly Pannek at 15:41. The pain for Robert Morris didn’t stop there as Nicole Schammel scored at 10:59 and Alex Woken at 12:48 in the second period. These proved to be all the goals that Robert Morris and the University of Minnesota picked up as neither team managed to score any other goals in the third.
