After Minnesota had two weeks off and fell to the No. 2 ranking, senior Meghan Lorence said her team needed to make a statement when it traveled to play Ohio State.
Naturally, she came out Saturday and recorded her first collegiate hat trick, which helped the Gophers to a 5-3 victory on Saturday, less than 24 hours after a 4-2 victory on Friday.
“We had to prove ourselves this weekend,” Lorence said. “The disappointing [Bemidji State series] was still in our minds, so we had to make a statement.”
