ST. CLOUD – The Gophers' two streaks are still alive.

The No. 2 Minnesota women's hockey team beat St. Cloud State 4-1 on Friday night in WCHA hockey to extend its NCAA-best current unbeaten streak to 13 games (10-0-3).

It also was the Gophers' 11th consecutive win over SCSU, including three this season.

The Gophers (18-1-3, 10-1-2-1 WCHA) fell behind 1-0 when

Hallie Theodosopoulos of SCSU scored at 3 minutes, 27 seconds of the second period on a power-play goal.

But before the period ended, Minnesota took the lead on goals by Taylor Heise and Madeline Wethington.

Catie Skaja increased the Gophers' lead to 3-1 early in the third, and Katie Robinson made it 4-1 in the 12th minute.

"A solid win on the road here tonight," Gophers coach Brad Frost said. "Proud of our team. Got down a goal there but fought back to get two more in the second period and then extended the lead and put the game away."
