The Gophers took a 1-0 lead in the first period, a lead the Golden Gophers held after 40 minutes of action.
Britta Curl tied the game at 1-1 early in the third period as she pick-pocketed a Gopher skater and beat the Minnesota netminder for her seventh goal of the year.
A minute later, the Gophers retook the lead, but Dara Greig tied the game at 2-2 with her second goal of her career.
After a five-minute overtime and a five-minute 3-on-3 overtime, the game went to a shootout, which Minnesota won 1-0.
The Badgers outshot the Gophers 34-25, including an 11-5 advantage in the third period and a 4-0 advantage in the five-on-five overtime.
