The Gopher Women’s Hockey team comes into its final two series of the year with home ice in the WCHA Playoffs locked up, but in a major fight to earn home ice for the NCAA Tournament. The Gophers will host North Dakota this weekend with a one point lead on UMD for second place in the WCHA standings with four games remaining for both teams. Both Minnesota and UMD have two games left against #1 Wisconsin—but while UMD has to travel to Madison this weekend, the Badgers will come to Minneapolis to finish the regular season next weekend. Meanwhile, the Gophers are currently #5 in the Pairwise rankings used to determine seeding for the NCAA Tournament.
