Star Tribune's
Three Stars

1. Sarah Potomak, Gophers: She stole the puck and scored the overtime game-winner, her 14th goal of the season.

2. Amanda Kessel, Gophers: Scored the game-tying goal 27 seconds into the third period.

3. Amanda Leveille, Gophers: She made 37 saves, including two big glove saves in overtime.

LOOK AHEAD

The Gophers (34-4-1) will meet Boston College (40-0) at 1 p.m. Sunday in the NCAA championship game. The Gophers are seeking their second national title in a row and fourth in five years. The Eagles are trying to become the first Division I women's hockey team to complete an undefeated season since the Gophers finished 41-0 in 2013. The game won't be televised live but will be tape-delayed nationally on CBS (Ch. 4), on March 27 at 1 p.m.
