MINOT, N.D. – Even giving up the first goal, it meant nothing to the Minot State women's hockey team. The Beavers were back on the first night of a back-to-back with the Jamestown Jimmies, as each gear towards the end of the regular season.

Minot State (19-10-1) took care of business with a 4-1 win over Jamestown (13-15-0) on Friday afternoon at Maysa Arena. While the Jimmies picked up the first goal of the game, it was the Beavers who rattled off four straight to come away with the victory. After Jamestown tallied at 9:19 of the first, the Beavers responded moments after. In fact, 18 seconds following the Jimmies goal. As the game remained tied at one heading into the middle frame, the next score would not come until 14:35 of the second as Minot State took on their first lead of the game. Two early markers in the third period, both at 1:11 and 4:15 would settle it for the Beavers.

Scoring first for the Beavers was Olivia Opheim as she racked up her sixth of the year. Mia McKee with blazing speed down the right-wing side put up a nice wrister glove side for her fifth. She would then score again for her second of the game and sixth overall. Cameron Schmidt got on the board with her sixth as she scored in between both of McKee's two goals. Aspen Cooper was a big help on the back end after she dished out two assists.

An early shot from the blue line that took a wild redirect did not deter the performance of Morgan Baker, who stepped in again as the starting netminder. She grabbed 24 saves on 25 shots.

Count win number seven on the season for Minot State over Jamestown and 16^th in the all-time series. Both teams will meet again tomorrow for a 3:45 p.m. (CT) puck drop. It is another day of free admission for the fans, but more importantly a day to recognize the six Seniors from women's hockey. The Beavers will honor Riley Ball, Gillian Gervin, Gracie Perry, Anna German, Aspen Cooper, and Haylie Biever for their time and dedication to the program.
