A weekend off has the Gophers sitting at No. 7 in the USCHO poll. The Gophers are back in action on Nov. 18 to start a series with Minnesota State.

The No. 12 Huskies rebounded after being swept by Minnesota-Duluth with a sweep of their own, cruising past Colorado College 7-3 and 4-1. In a nod to St. Cloud State’s depth, seven players scored goals in the first win of the weekend.

Losses to No. 2 Minnesota by scores of 5-0 and 8-1 stretched the Mavericks’ losing streak to five games. Amanda Conway scored the lone goal of the weekend for the Mavericks.
