Minnesota Gophers goaltender Eric Schierhorn stopped all 25 Bemidji State shots to record his fifth shutout of the season and the seventh of his career in a 4-0 win for Minnesota.
Junior forward Leon Bristedt opened the game's scoring with his first-period goal, followed with a goal by sophomore forward Ryan Norman. Senior forwards Taylor Cammarata and Justin Kloos scored as well to round out the 4-0 win.
The No. 6 Gophers, after losing to UMD last night, earned the third-place honor in the North Star College Cup with the win. They move on to 15-7-2 overall, while the No. 20 Beavers travel back to Bemidji 16-11-3 overall. Bemidji State has now lost four of its last five games.
