The Gophers split their first two games of conference play against Michigan and Michigan State over the weekend. Both contests went down to the wire, and one carried a little controversy.
The Gophers were tied with Michigan 1-1 on Friday night in overtime when a Michigan free kick from freshman Taylor Timko led to a goal, giving the Wolverines the victory. After the game, Gophers head coach Stefanie Golan said the Wolverines had kicked the ball before an official blew the whistle, so the Gophers were not ready to defend the shot.
