Freshman Sydney Squires scored the Gophers' first goal, in the 19th minute on an assist by Josee Stiever. Sophomore Simone Kolander scored in the 88th minute, giving her three goals and five assists this season, most among Big Ten players.

Sophomore goalkeeper Tarah Hobbs got her third shutout of the season, making three saves.
