MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – Bemidji State University Women's Hockey junior Genevieve Hendrickson scored her first goal of the season but No. 3 University of Minnesota skated to a 9-1 victory over the Beavers in their series finale Saturday afternoon at Ridder Arena.
 
G. Hendrickson was assisted by freshmen Kate Johnson and Talya Hendrickson with their line producing all three goals in the series.
 
She scored her first of the season when Johnson capitalized on a two-on-one and sent the puck over to Hendrickson who one-timed the pass bar-down with 5:16 to play in the third period.
