Abbey Murphy’s power-play goal with 1 minute, 20 seconds remaining lifted the Gophers to a 1-0 victory over Boston University at Ridder Arena.
Murphy’s fourth goal of the season — assisted by Peyton Hemp and Josefin Bouveng — came 18 seconds into the power play. Boston University’s Riley Walsh was called for a head-contact major and a game misconduct after getting into a skirmish with Murphy. The penalty was initially called for a minor but was upgraded to a major after a Gophers challenge and a video review.
The Gophers, ranked No. 2, outshot the Terriers 41-11, as Shanahan stopped the first 40 shots she faced.
The Gophers (3-0) opened the season last weekend with a sweep at No. 9 Connecticut, outshooting the Huskies 86-23 in the series.
The Gophers and Terriers (1-1) conclude the series Sunday.
Sam Rinzel had two of the Gophers’ three power play goals against the Irish.
