The Minnesota womenâÄôs hockey team is in control of their own fate at this point in the season. With two games left against St. Cloud State, No.1 Minnesota needs two wins to guarantee their first Western Collegiate Hockey Association regular season title since the 2004-05 season. Minnesota has four regular season championships in program history. The Gophers have been one point ahead of second-place Wisconsin since beating and tying them Feb. 7 and 8. Since opening the season with a loss to Robert Morris, Minnesota has suffered only two losses, one at the hands of Wisconsin on Oct. 26 and the other a Jan. 23 loss to Duluth, with Minnesota posting a 16-game winning streak in between the two games. Senior Rachael Drazan said the team is in control of whether or not they take the regular season title. âÄúThe way that we played against Wisconsin, we really set up our own destiny,âÄù she said. However, the way the team came out against North Dakota has left a sour taste in the teamâÄôs mouth. This weekendâÄôs goal is to make a statement, senior captain Gigi Marvin said. âÄúI think the last weekend, we kind of fell short,âÄù Marvin said. âÄúYeah, we won but we didnâÄôt play very well as a team. It was kind of a disappointment coming off such an awesome weekend against Wisconsin but our goal is to end the regular season with a statement and on a high note.âÄù Marvin and Drazan would also end their careers on a high note since they are part of a senior class that has never hung a banner in Ridder Arena. âÄúWeâÄôre the only senior class that hasnâÄôt [raised a banner],âÄù Drazan said. âÄúWe have a phenomenal senior class like we have in the past 10 years of the program. This year is hopefully our year to do it and if any year has been the year to do it, this year is. We have a phenomenal team from our freshmen all the way up.âÄù But, the only pressure the team is feeling is from themselves and not from the fans or the coaches, Drazan said. âÄúThe coaches havenâÄôt changed much at practice, only continuing to focus on the little things the team can control, like having a good week of practice and following through with the systems,âÄù Drazan said. âÄúThat hard loss in the beginning to Robert Morris really set a good pace for our team in realizing we donâÄôt want to give up anything.âÄù The week leading up to the Duluth games in January also helped the team realize they were in a position to take control, Marvin said. âÄúThey just got done getting three points from Wisconsi n and we knew if we played good against them we would control our destiny,âÄù Marvin said. âÄúWe played well and have built on that since then. WeâÄôve moved forward and have learned from every game and havenâÄôt been satisfied yet.âÄù
