Michigan Tech took it 3-1 over Minnesota, and the Huskies did it with the middle and late periods after a scoreless opening 20 minutes. The margin was built in the third, where Tech scored twice and absorbed Minnesota's only goal of the night.
The first period ended 0-0, a tight, low-event start from both sides. Tech broke it open in the second to lead 1-0 after 40 minutes, then the third turned into the decisive frame: two more Huskies goals against one from the Gophers, closing it at 3-1 in regulation.
The number that matters is three unanswered before Minnesota's reply — Tech scored in each of the final two periods and never trailed. Detailed scoring information was not available for this game, so individual credit stays open.
