After the Terriers tied the score 1-1 in the second period, Murphy’s goal gave the Gophers the lead for good with 5 minutes, 54 seconds remaining in the second . Three minutes later, Murphy assisted on Ella Huber’s goal, which made it 3-1.
Murphy has five goals and two assists on the season after leading the nation with 33 goals in 2023-24. She has scored in every game this season for the second-ranked Gophers (4-0), including the lone goal late in the third period of Friday’s 1-0 victory over BU.
In the first minute of the third period, Sydney Morrow, a transfer from Colgate, scored her first goal as a Gopher to make it 4-1.
The Gophers open WCHA play next weekend at No. 4 Ohio State. The defending national champion Buckeyes (4-2, 2-2 WCHA) opened the season with two one-goal losses to Minnesota Duluth at home before winning twice at Bemidji State.
The Gophers will have key players missing Friday, but not near as many as the Hokies in the Duke’s Mayo Bowl.
