The Gophers will look to try and win the WCHA Frozen Face-off on home ice.

The Gopher Women's hockey team will host the WCHA Frozen Faceoff this weekend at Ridder Arena. The Gophers are looking to win their first Frozen Face-off title since winning three in a row from 2012-2014. Wisconsin won last year's title in Grand Forks.

The first semi-final pits the WCHA Regular Season Champions, and #3 ranked Wisconsin Badgers against the sixth seeded UMD Bulldogs. UMD make it to the Frozen Face-off after upsetting the third seed Bemidji State in two straight games last weekend.
