Sophomore Clair DeGeorge scored two goals to give the Bemidji State University women’s hockey team 1-0 and 3-2 leads in the first period over No. 2 University of Minnesota but the Gophers (8-2-1, 6-2-1-0 WCHA) scored four-unanswered goals in the second and third periods to complete the comeback with a 6-3 win over the Beavers (0-8-1, 0-4-1-0 WCHA).

DeGeorge opened the game with her second goal of the season at 5:31 of the first period and senior Emily Bergland put the Beavers up 2-0 just a minute later with second goal of the season as well. Minnesota answered back however, and at 15:38 and 16:54, Emily Oden and Grace Zumwinkle evened the score at two. The Beavers wouldn’t hang their heads and with just 1:44 remaining in the opening period, DeGeorge scored her second of the game, third of the season, while on a BSU power play to head into the locker room leading the second-ranked Gophers 3-2.

Bemidji State had two chances on the power play and converted on one of them thanks to DeGeorge with her first power-play goal of the season while the Beavers’ penalty kill killed off two of three chances by the Gophers.

Redshirt sophomore Lauren Bench stopped 31 shots the game for her second consecutive game with 30 or more saves but earned the loss and falls to 0-5-1 on the season.

Behind DeGeorge’s two goals, sophomore Paige Beebe followed with two assists while Bergland (1g) and Jacqueline Kaasa (1a) each recorded a point.

The Beavers and Gophers are back in action Saturday for the series finale at Ridder Arena. Puck drop for game two is scheduled for 4:07 p.m. Tune in to our broadcast 37 minutes before the face-off for our pregame show on KPMI AM 1300 The Legends.
