It took two wins of their own and a good amount of help from the Ohio State Buckeyes, but the Minnesota Golden Gophers women’s hockey team are the WCHA Regular Season Champions for the first time since 2015! Minnesota’s 4-3 win over Bemidji State coupled with Ohio State taking the Wisconsin Badgers to a shootout on Saturday gave Minnesota the point differential they needed to win the conference crown. With the win comes a bye directly into the WCHA Final Face-off at Ridder Arena in two weeks.
The Gophers trailed Wisconsin by two points entering this weekend’s games.
