When Duluth did thread the puck into the crease, Ruddock shut the door. The Bulldogs’ first dangerous chance in overtime came about halfway through the first extra period when Hanne Sikio walked the puck into the crease. Captain Kalen Ingram disrupted Sikio to free the puck, but Ruddock couldn’t cover it up and it trickled towards the net. As Sikio tried again to jam the puck home, Ruddock stoned her with the end of her left leg. In the confusion that followed, the puck was sent all the way back to the point...
Ruddock’s most improbable save came with 6:27 left in the first overtime. Duluth senior Maria Rooth gained control of a blocked shot at the end line and feinted like she was going around the net. Instead, she cut back and tried to bank the puck near-side off the back of Ruddock’s legs into the goal. Instinctively, Ruddock went airborne at just the right time and dived away from Rooth. The puck skirted harmlessly across the crease and Ruddock landed on top of it. She stood tall and held the puck triumphantly...
...game’s end, however, Ruddock did not stand tall. At 4:19 of the second overtime, Tallus received a creative no-look pass in the high slot from Erika Holst down low and put the puck on net.

But the puck flew just past McAuliffe’s shoulder, inches above Ruggiero’s leg, and deflected perfectly off the right post into...
Junior winger Lauren McAuliffe doubled the lead on the subsequent faceoff. She brought the puck in on the left side on a two-on-one with sophomore winger Nicole Corriero. McAuliffe delayed for a split second, faking the pass. As Minnesota goaltender Judy Horak turned her attention to Corriero, McAuliffe scored with a beautiful shot just over Horak’s right shoulder. The two goals demoralized the Gophers...
Minnesota is a small, quick team that relies on speed to win, but the Crimson beat the Gophers to the puck consistently. In addition, the Crimson was able to slow the Gophers’ pace while avoiding penalties...
