Game finally ends: 7:18 p.m. Gophers win 6-0 and go on to win the Big Ten title with a (rain-delayed) semifinal victory over Indiana on Saturday and a title-game triumph over Northwestern (that was pushed back a day by lightning) on Sunday morning.

As their reward, the Gophers are heading to Seattle for an NCAA regional. It never rains in Seattle, right?
