For the first time in program history, Western Michigan hockey is headed to the Frozen Four.
The top-seeded Broncos recovered from a first-period deficit with a pair of goals 4:12 apart at the end of the second period and the start of the third to take down 3-seed UMass in the Fargo region final on Saturday night in Fargo, North Dakota.
The Broncos (32-7-1) will face Sunday’s winner of the Manchester (N.H.) region — either 1-seed Boston College or 3-seed Denver — in the national semifinals at Enterprise Center in St. Louis, Missouri, on April 10 (ESPN2).
