Sarah Potomak scored just 13 seconds into the game and the Golden Gophers added third-period goals by Amanda Kessel and Kelly Pannek as the University of Minnesota women's hockey team took home its seventh national title with a 3-1 win over Boston College at the University of New Hampshire's Whittemore Center Arena Sunday afternoon.

Minnesota (35-4-1) is back-to-back national champions for the third time in program history and now owns an NCAA-best seven national titles. The Gophers have won four of the last five national championships.

"It never gets old first of all," head coach Brad Frost said. "We're just so excited and happy and grateful to have won the 2016 national championship. It's somewhat surreal. I'm just so proud of our team and how they have come together over the latter part of the year. Our second half was tremendous and brought us great momentum coming into the tournament."
