Ziemer’s two goals pushes Gophers to Tie with No. 9 Bulldogs

Brodie Ziemer scored twice for the 20th-ranked Golden Gophers men s hockey team during a 2-2 tie against the No. 9 Bulldogs Saturday evening from AMSOIL Arena. Wyatt Cullen and LJ Mooney each scored in the shootout, while Luca Di Pasquo stopped 2-of-3 attempts to win the shootout. Ziemer s two goals helped the Gophers (0-3-1 overall, 0-0-0 B1G) erase a two-goal deficit on the road versus UMD (3-1-2 overall, 0-0-0 NCHC). The junior tallied his goals exactly six minutes apart in the second period, including a power-play goal that evened the game. It was a much more energized start from the visitors than the prior night, which led to a man advantage less than five minutes into the contest. Despite multiple chances on target, including a close-range shot by Mooney, the Gophers could not put one away, and the minor penalty was erased. A defensive-zone penalty on Minnesota allowed the Bulldogs their first man advantage, where the defense shut down every play to keep the game scoreless.
