  "account": "The Gopher football team may have been on their bye week, but the rest of the fall and winter sports for Minnesota were in action over the weekend. Notable wins included the women's hockey team, who defeated Ohio State 6-2, with freshman Adriani Milani scoring her fifth goal of the season. This victory placed the Gophers at #2 in the nation, overachieving against a top-ranked opponent. The volleyball team also had a successful weekend, sweeping Maryland 3-0, with Kelly Kinney leading the charge with 11 kills. In men's hockey, the Gophers suffered a 7-1 loss to UMD, with freshman Jacob Kvasnicka scoring the sole NCAA goal. The following Saturday, the team showed resilience in a 2-2 tie with North Dakota, ultimately emerging victorious in overtime after sophomore LJ Mooney scored the winning goal. The Gophers will face ranked teams Purdue and Washington in the coming weeks.",
