The fourth-ranked Gophers men’s hockey team remained unbeaten in Big Ten play with a 5-3 victory over Notre Dame on Saturday, completing a two-game weekend sweep in South Bend, Ind. Minnesota (12-2-0 overall, 6-0-0 Big Ten) won 6-3 over Notre Dame (5-9-0, 1-7-0) in Friday’s series opener. The Gophers got two goals from Jimmy Snuggerud, both in the second period, and one goal each from Oliver Moore, Brodie Ziemer and Mike Koster. The score was tied 3-3 going into the third period when Ziemer scored to put Minnesota ahead to stay. Koster added an empty-net goal for insurance. “We deserved the win tonight,” Minnesota coach Bob Motzko said. “We got ourselves in a little trouble and Notre Dame got back in it with our two mistakes. We were having a dominating period and could have really put the game away, but that’s hockey and we found ourselves in a tied hockey game. I give our guys credit; we came back and played our tails off. Now we go home, and let’s hope we get some home cooking and let our fans get a chance to watch.” Related Articles College Sports | Women’s hockey: St. Cloud State tops Gophers 3-1 for weekend split College Sports | Tommies’ football end season with dominating home win against Dayton College Sports | Gophers suffer excruciating 26-25 loss to No. 4 Penn State College Sports | Gophers coach P.J.
