Within a span of nine minutes, the Gophers would score twice and GK Erica Bulzomi, starting and playing in her first-ever college game would saved all three shots to give herself a well-earned first college victory.
During the 62nd minute, M Christina Yarrish received a great pass from D Bri Hite and would make a nice move past her defender, eventually drilling the ball into the back-right part of the net to tie the score at 1-1.
