Wisconsin Women's Hockey: Badgers edge past Minnesota, win WCHA Final Faceoff Championship

The Badgers are the regular season and conference tournament champions for the first time since the 2010-11 season.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Wisconsin and Minnesota have one of the best rivalries in collegiate women's hockey. With ten national championships between them, a match-up between the two powerhouses rarely fails to deliver.

Both teams had swept their respective home series during the regular season, setting up a rubber match of sorts. Sunday afternoon's WCHA Final Faceoff tournament championship game didn't follow the blueprint of the earlier games this season. The first four games of the season had a total of 20 goals scored, but it was a single tally the brought the tournament championship to the Badgers.
