ā€˜U’ Drops In-State Series Opener to Mavs

Ā 

MINNEAPOLIS – Brent Gates Jr. scored a power-play goal for the Gophers for the second-straight game but it wasn’t enough as the No. 4 Minnesota came out on top of Friday’s series opener against No. 8/10 Minnesota in a 5-1 contest.

After Minnesota State jumped out to an early lead off the stick of Dallas Gerard at 5:56 of the opening period, Gates pocketed the equalizer on the power play at 14:33. Clayton Phillips picked up his fifth assist of the season on the goal while Tommy Novak added his second of the year.

Ā 

The tie wouldn’t last long, however, as Charlie Gerard scored just over a minute later at 15:41 to start a string of four unanswered goals for the Mavericks (6-1-0 overall, 2-0-0 WCHA). Minnesota State scored within the first minute of the second period (Nick Rivera at 0:32) and the third period (Marc Michaelis at 0:59) before Michaelis added his second of the night with a shorthanded tally at 16:36 of the final period.

Ā 

Mat Robson took the loss for the Gophers with 17 saves on 21 shots in 50:38 of work while Eric Schierhorn came in for a relief appearance, making one save on two shots in his first regular-season action of the year.

Ā 

The Gophers (1-2-1, 0-0-0-0 Big ten) outshot the Mavericks 25-23 in the game – the first time this year Minnesota has outshot its opponent. The Maroon & Gold went 1-for-7 on the power play and 5-for-5 on the penalty kill.

Ā 

Among other notable stats in the game, senior forward Jack Ramsey took his first penalty in nearly two years with a cross checking call in the third period. Ramsey’s last penalty came against Minnesota on Nov. 18, 2016.

Ā 

The Gophers and Mavericks close out their in-state showdown series on Saturday night at 7 p.m. in Mankato, Minn.
