An early goal from Kate Schipper, a couple of third-period tallies by Dani Cameranesi, and nine saves from Sidney Peters were enough to earn Minnesota a 3-0 win over visiting St. Cloud State.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The team played great in front of me, so it made my life a lot easier than it could have been,” Peters said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Schipper had to wait until the 10th game to collect the first goal of her senior season for the Gophers (9-1-0, 7-1-0-0 WCHA).<\/span><\/p>\n

“Putting the first one in was definitely a relief and a weight off my shoulders,” Schipper said.<\/span><\/p>\n

She drove to the crease and banged in a centering pass from Cara Piazza 11:28 into the game, but S<\/span>t. Cloud State (3-6-1, 2-5-1-1 WCHA) bent but didn’t break for the next 36 minutes of action.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I thought we did a lot of things well enough to keep us in a game,” Huskies coach Eric Rud said.<\/p>\n

Though stuck in their own zone for long stretches, they were able to limit the quality chances they yielded.<\/p>\n

“We were at five D all weekend,” Rud said. “That’s tough to do against anyone, especially Minnesota. That’s difficult with our best defenseman [Brittney Anderson] hurt.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The ultimate problem was the other end of the ice, where they weren’t able to pressure Peters.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Our forwards got to kick it in and find a way to get a goal for our D that have been battling all weekend,” Rud said.<\/span><\/p>\n

For much of the game, the Huskies were just one shot away from tying it up.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The one two-on-one [break] that we gave up at the end of the first, [Peters] was square to the puck and made a great save there to keep it 1-0,” Minnesota coach Brad Frost said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Janine Alder, her counterpart in the SCSU net, was called on to make 36 saves.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Every goaltender in our league is real good, and it’s been that way for a long time,” Frost said. “St. Cloud seems to have found their Swiss kid that is just so solid, very square to it. She makes you earn everything.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Through October, the Gophers have made a lot of goalies shine.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Eventually, it’s going to start going in more often,” Schipper said. “It’s just a matter of getting there.”<\/span><\/p>\n

It looked like they might not get there again before the Huskies found an equalizer.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We talked about getting more shots on net and trying to create chaos,” Cameranesi said.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Gophers did, Cameranesi banged in a rebound at 7:47 of the final frame, and she deposited another loose puck 10 minutes later with Sarah Potomak assisting on both markers.<\/span><\/p>\n
