Gophers take 3 in series with UAA

Derek Peltier was with out a doubt the player of the weekend. At the beginning of the season I wasn't sure what to think about him wearing the C since I'd never really seen him do anything to back it up other than the fact he was a senior. But after this series I take it back. The second half of this season he has played spectacular! He's stepped up and I'm impressed. Gophers take on UMD for the final series of the regular season. Until then GO GOPHERS!
