MINNESOTA 3, HARVARD 0

After a scoreless first 15 minutes, two power-play goals in a six-minute span doomed the Crimson on Friday and set the stage for a winless weekend in Minneapolis.

Harvard actually outshot the Gophers in the first period, 11-4, but a slashing penalty by Crimson sophomore Hilary Hayssen opened the door for Minnesota. The Gophers capitalized on one of their few opportunities of the period when sophomore defenseman Mira Jalosuo scored her first goal of the season off assists from freshman Amanda Kessel and sophomore Becky Kortum.

Harvard closed out the first period with another penalty, this one a holding penalty by freshman Marissa Gedman, which paved the way for a second Minnesota power-play goal.

This time, it was Gopher junior Jen Schoullis who lit the lamp.

“I think their best chances came on the power play,” Chute said.

The Crimson has now surrendered 14 goals in 43 penalty-kill chances, a nation-worst kill rate of 67.4 percent.

Schoullis’ goal paved the way for a second period in which Minnesota outshot Harvard, 14-4, but Bellamy turned away every shot that came her way in the frame.

The sophomore would only allow one more goal all weekend, a Schoullis tally in the third period.

Meanwhile, the Gophers were able to shut out the Crimson despite losing their top goaltender, Raty, in the second period, after the netminder collided with Harvard sophomore defenseman Josephine Pucci.

“[Raty] is always in the right place at the right time,” Chute said of the Finnish Olympic goaltender.

But on Friday, so was Minnesota’s second-stringer Jenny Lura, a senior from British Columbia, who finished the game with 10 saves in 29:49 of play.
