Minnesota completed a sweep of Colgate to begin its season for the second straight year, but the similarity between the two series ended there.
Minnesota found itself down a goal in both games but bounced back to win 3-1 and 8-3 over the weekend, a change from last year, when the Gophers overpowered the Raiders 18-0 in two games.
“You don’t lose so many great players … and expect to come out and roll over teams,” head coach Brad Frost said. “You never want to get down a goal, but it was good to see the way our players responded.”
