PRINCETON, N.J. – Junior Hannah Brandt and sophomore Dani Cameranesi each had a goal and two assists to lead the Gophers women's hockey team over host Princeton 5-2 on Sunday.

The Gophers (14-1-2) outshot the Tigers 52-21 to sweep the two-game weekend series. They edged Princeton (6-6-1) 2-1 on Saturday at Hobey Baker Rink.

"It was a great sweep on the road here, playing a very tough Princeton team," Gophers coach Brad Frost said. "With a lot of travel and two really good, hard-fought games, I'm happy with how we came out of it. It was nice to see our team playing hard and creating a lot of offense this weekend."

Sophomore Megan Wolfe and freshman Kelly Pannek each had two assists for the Gophers. Junior goaltender Amanda Leveille stopped 19 of 21 shots for the victory, while Princeton's Kimberly Newell made 47 saves in the loss.

Minnesota returns home to play host to St. Cloud State in its final series of 2014, with games at 7 p.m. Friday and 4 p.m. Saturday at Ridder Arena.
