#Gophers defeat Durham West 12-0. -Gophers are deep up front. I think they will have three lines that can score consistently. -Lots of new faces on the back end. I'll be interested to see them tested when the NCAA season starts. Sloane Hartmetz stood out today.

Reid Lemker @reidol15.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

#Gophers add 5 more in the second and lead this one 8-0 after 2 periods. 2 goals in the period for Adrianna Milani, Emma Kreisz, Sarah Paul, and Kendra Distad also scored for the Gophers.

I know I’m really going out on a limb here but I think Adrianna Milani is going to score a few points in Maroon and Gold. #Gophers
