OPENING FACEOFF NCAA-Best Three WCHA Teams in National Tournament: The Women's League of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) has three representatives -- more than any other conference -- in the eight-team field that will compete for the 2018 NCAA championship. Wisconsin (the tournament's second seed), Minnesota (Final Faceoff champion) and Ohio State (first-ever appearance) will be vying to win the WCHA's 17th national title in the league's 19 seasons (16th NCAA crown). Wisconsin (30-4-2) and Minnesota (24-10-3) will meet six days after their WCHA Final Faceoff championship clash, dropping the puck on their sixth "Border Battle" contest of the season. The game will be held at sold-out LaBahn Arena, where the Badgers own a 28-game unbeaten streak (27-0-1), a 52-1-2 record over the last three seasons and three-straight wins over the Gophers. UW swept the four-game regular season games, with four one-goal contests (Minnesota's 3-1 win at the WCHA Final Faceoff was 2-1 until an empty-net goal with 14 seconds left). Minnesota owns a 4-2 lead over Wisconsin in their six all-time NCAA tournament matchups, including four-straight wins (at the 2012 and 2014-16 Frozen Fours). The Badgers' last NCAA tournament victory over the Gophers came in their most recent quarterfinal-round game: a 3-2, overtime decision at Ridder Arena. Ohio State's (23-10-4) first-ever NCAA tournament game will come in Chestnut Hill, Mass. against No. 4 seed Boston College (30-4-3). The Buckeyes and Eagles have never met. About Wisconsin: The Badgers, who have been No. 1 or 2 in the national opinion polls each week of the season, are the No. 2 seed for the 2018 NCAA tournament. Wisconsin is back in the national postseason for the fifth-straight campaign and 12th time overall -- tied with Mercyhurst for the second-most appearances of any program. UW is 21-7-0 (.750) all-time in NCAA tournament play, including four Frozen Four championships. Wisconsin is second in the country with an .861 winning percentage (.861, 30-4-2), while the Badgers are tied for the fewest losses and tied for the third-most wins. UW ranks fifth among NCAA Division I teams by averaging 3.31 goals per game, while sophomore goaltender Kristen Campbell (a Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award top-10 finalist) has started every Badgers game and leads D-I netminders with a 1.16 goals-against average, a .941 save percentage and 11 shutouts (tied). The Badgers won their third-straight WCHA regular season championship (and seventh overall), joining Minnesota (2013-15) as the only teams in league history to go back-to-back-to-back. About Minnesota: The Gophers extended their season by defeating Ohio State and Wisconsin to win the 2018 WCHA Final Faceoff and earn the league's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. Minnesota is making its NCAA-record 11th straight tournament appearance (snapping a tie with Mercyhurst from 2005-14), while extending its own mark with its 16th overall trip. The Gophers are 24-10-1 (.700) in 35 all-time NCAA tournament games, along with a record six Frozen Four championships (among their seven overall national titles). Minnesota is 21-2-2 when leading after two periods this season and is 21-2-0 when allowing two-or-fewer goals in a game. In four 2018 postseason games, redshirt-senior Sidney Peters leads NCAA goaltenders with a .972 save percentage and a 0.75 goals-against average. She is 4-0-0 and one of seven NCAA netminders with a playoff shutout this season. UMN senior Sydney Baldwin became just the third full-time defensive player to earn WCHA Player of the Year honors. She is tied for second among NCAA blueliners with 32 points (12g-20), while she leads the country with 99 blocked shots. The Gophers' 2018 Final Faceoff title was their seventh WCHA playoff championship all-time, matching Wisconsin for the most in league history. About Ohio State: The Buckeyes are continuing their historic season with their first-ever NCAA tournament appearance. Ohio State is joining other newcomer Colgate as the 22nd and 23rd teams to compete in the NCAAs. Led by WCHA Coach of the Year Nadine Muzerall, Ohio State has set a school record with 23 overall wins, while the Buckeyes' 14 league wins and second-place finish in the WCHA standings were both program bests. OSU has the sixth-most victories among D-I programs this season. OSU's freshman forward duo of WCHA Rookie of the Year Emma Maltais and Tatum Skaggs has been prolific. Maltais leads the WCHA with 40 points overall (16g-24a), the most by a Buckeye since two-time Olympic medalist Natalie Spooner collected 50 in 2011-12. Skaggs paces the WCHA with 23 goals among her 37 points (and is tops with 0.62 goals per game). Redshirt-junior goaltender Kassidy Sauvé is third nationally with nine shutouts and is sixth with a WCHA-best 849 saves. Freshman Amanda Zeglen is 2-1-0 this postseason, while she stopped 25-of-26 shots in the WCHA Final Faceoff semifinal. Olympic Year: The WCHA was proud and honored to have 37 current and former players competing at the 2018 Winter Olympics, representing seven universities and playing for five countries. Thirty (30) players with WCHA ties brought home medals, including 14 that helped Team USA win its first gold since 1998. Canada's silver medalists featured nine WCHA players, while seven alumnae earned bronze with Finland.

Opening FaceOFF• NCAA-Best Three WCHA Teams in National Tournament: The Women's League of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association

(WCHA) has three representatives -- more than any other conference -- in the eight-team field that will compete for the 2018 NCAA championship. Wisconsin (the tournament's second seed), Minnesota (Final Faceoff champion) and Ohio State (first-ever appearance) will be vying to win the WCHA's 17th national title in the league's 19 seasons (16th NCAA crown).

• Wisconsin (30-4-2) and Minnesota (24-10-3) will meet six days after their WCHA Final Faceoff championship clash, dropping the puck on their sixth "Border Battle" contest of the season. The game will be held at sold-out LaBahn Arena, where the Badgers own a 28-game unbeaten streak (27-0-1), a 52-1-2 record over the last three seasons and three-straight wins over the Gophers. UW swept the four-game regular season games, with four one-goal contests (Minnesota's 3-1 win at the WCHA Final Faceoff was 2-1 until an empty-net goal with 14 seconds left).

• The nation's premier conference tournament again staged a competitive and entertaining championship weekend, as nationally-ranked Wisconsin, Ohio State and Minnesota, along with upstart Bemidji State, staged three memorable games.

• Minnesota, playing to extend its season, won their seventh WCHA playoff championship after defeating Ohio State, 2-0 in the semifinals and Wisconsin, 3-1 in the 2018 WCHA Final Faceoff championship game.

• The Badgers' Baylee Wellhausen notched the first Final Faceoff hat trick since 2012, helping UW past BSU, 4-1 in the first semifinal.

• Final Faceoff Most Outstanding Player Sidney Peters, Minnesota's redshirt-senior goaltender, stopped 64-of-65 shots.

• Full recaps, box scores, photo galleries and video highlights are available at wcha.com.

2018 WCHA Final Faceoff Semifinal #1(1) Wisconsin 4, vs. (4) Bemidji State 1(March 3 at Ridder Arena; Minneapolis, Minn.) A competitive and entertaining 2018 WCHA Final Faceoff got underway with a game tighter than the final score indicated, as top-seeded Wisconsin got a Baylee Wellhausen hat trick for a 4-1 win over No. 4 seed Bemidji State. Wellhausen lit the lamp just 41 seconds into the game for a quick, 1-0 Badgers lead. But, the Beavers settled in and found the equalizer from senior Emma Terres with 34 seconds remaining in the opening period. Wellhausen's shorthanded tally at 11:06 of the second stanza broke the 1-1 tie and stood as the game-winner, while Maddie Rolfes provided an insurance marker with 9:15 remaining in regulation. Wellhausen, UW's co-captain, then completed the first Final Faceoff hat trick since 2012 with an empty net tally. Kristen Campbell made 22 saves for the Badgers, while BSU freshman Kerigan Dowhy had 27 stops.

2018 WCHA Final Faceoff Semifinal #2(3) Minnesota 2, vs. (2) Ohio State 0(March 3 at Ridder Arena; Minneapolis, Minn.) After UConn upset Boston College earlier in the day in the Hockey East semifinals, the mission became clear for Minnesota: Win the Final Faceoff or risk seeing its season end. The third-seeded Gophers and redshirt-senior goaltender Sidney Peters responded, blanking No. 2 seed Ohio State, 2-0. Peters was fantastic en route to her fourth shutout of the season and 16th of her career, making 33 saves. She turned aside 10 shots in the first period, seven in the second and 16 in the third as the Gophers were clinging to a 1-0 lead for the first 19 minutes of the frame. Freshman forward Grace Zumwinkle, the regular season WCHA Scoring Champion, netted both Minnesota goals, scoring an even-strength marker at 2:26 of the second period and the game-clinching, empty-net tally with less than a minute remaining. Ohio State freshman goaltender Amanda Zeglen was also fantastic, stopping 25-of-26 shots.

2018 WCHA Final Faceoff Championship Game(3) Minnesota 3, vs. (1) Wisconsin 1(March 4 at Ridder Arena; Minneapolis, Minn.) Again playing for their NCAA lives, the Gophers (and Sidney Peters) again rose to the occasion, defeating the Badgers, 3-1 to win the 2018 WCHA Final Faceoff and earn the league's automatic bid to the national tournament. In beating Wisconsin for the first time in five tries this season, Minnesota also captured its seventh WCHA playoff title, matching UW for the most in league history. Peters made 31 saves (including 24 over the final 40 minutes), the continuation of an excellent weekend that saw her stop 64-of-65 shots and earn 2018 WCHA Most Outstanding Player honors. A pair of freshmen traded first-period goals, with Minnesota's Taylor Wente scoring her 11th of the season at 1:06 and Wisconsin's Delaney Drake netting her first collegiate goal at the 4:19 mark. Taylor Williamson, who overcame a serious illness that forced her to miss 33 games this season, wrote another triumphant chapter with the game-winning goal, coming 1:40 into the second period and giving the Gophers a 2-1 lead. Nicole Schammel iced the win and the WCHA Final Faceoff crown with an empty-net goal with 14 seconds remaining.

OFFensive player OF The year

Roque followed up her 2016-17 WCHA Rookie of the Year performance with an even better sophomore campaign, propelling top-ranked Wisconsin to its third-straight league regular season crown. The Sault Ste. Marie native compiled 21 of her team-best 35 overall points in 24 WCHA games, with six goals and 15 assists. Roque factored in eight-game winning goals for the Badgers in league play (2g-6a), had at least one point in 14 of 24 contests and posted a plus-14 rating. She also ranked second in the WCHA with 260 face-off wins and fourth with a .596 percentage. Roque enters the WCHA Final Faceoff with a league-best 26 assists overall (and is tied for third with 35 points).

rOOkie OF The year

emma malTaisFr., F, OhiO sTaTe

BurlingTOn, OnTariO

How good has Maltais been in her first collegiate sea-son? Well, the freshman from Burlington, Ontario enters the WCHA Final Faceoff with a league-leading 40 points (16g-24a) overall – the most by an Ohio State skater since two-time Olympic medalist Natalie Spooner collected 50 in 2011-12. Maltais finished second in the league scoring race with 24 of her points (10g-14a) in 24 WCHA games, finding her name on the scoresheet in 17 contests. A clutch per-former, she led the WCHA with four game-winning goals in league play and five overall – tied for the most nationally by a rookie. All told, Maltais tallied at least a point in 26 of her 34 contests (including 12 multi-point efforts), helping Ohio State set program records with 23 overall wins (entering this weekend) and 14 WCHA victories.

Baldwin, a Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award top-10 fi-nalist, was one of the nation’s top two-way players this season. The senior from Minnetonka, Minn. was tied for third in the WCHA scoring race and paced league blueliners with 22 points (9g-13a) in conference games, along with a WCHA-best 76 blocked shots. The Gophers’ co-captain ranks second among NCAA Division I defense-men with 32 points, 12 goals (tied) and 92 blocks, while she is tied for sixth with a plus-24 rating. Baldwin tallied a point in 23 of her 35 games (14 WCHA contests), while factoring in seven game-winning goals (2g-5a).

“Catherine is the perfect example of what it truly means to be a student-athlete,” says UMD head coach Maura Crowell of her senior blueliner. “She embodies both parts of the moniker that is so often used, we some-times forget how difficult it is to truly be one.” A native of French-speaking L’Île-Bizard, Québec, Daoust has main-tained a perfect 4.0 grade-point average through seven semesters to-date as a Mechanical Engineering major. A member of Tau Beta Pi, the National Engineering Honor Society, she has made the Dean’s list every semester at UMD, is a three-time WCHA All-Academic Team member and a three-time WCHA Scholar-Athlete Award recip-ient. Before embarking on a post-graduate career that includes plans to attend a master’s program in Aero-space Engineering, Daoust served as the Bulldogs’ assis-tant captain in her final season of collegiate hockey. She tallied a career-high 13 points (3g-10a) in 2017-18, led UMD with 67 blocked shots, posted a plus-2 rating and appeared on all the Bulldogs’ special teams units.

Campbell was nothing short of sensational in her first season in Madison, starting all 24 league games for the WCHA champion Badgers, leading the conference with 20 wins, an .875 winning percentage (20-2-2), eight shutouts, a 1.16 goals-against average and a .941 save percentage. The Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award top-10 finalist has been in the net for each of UW’s 34 games and enters the WCHA Final Faceoff leading all NCAA Division I goaltenders in overall winning per-centage (.882, 29-3-2), shutouts (11), GAA (1.14) and save percentage (.942). A sophomore transfer from the University of North Dakota, Campbell allowed two-goals-or-fewer in 28 games (19 in WCHA play), in-cluding 23 efforts with no more than one goal against (16 in league contests). The Brandon, Manitoba native became the first Wisconsin goaltender to win her first nine starts in the Cardinal and White, opening 16-0-0.

nadine muzerallOhiO sTaTe

In just her second season as a collegiate head coach, Muzerall has presided over the best season in Ohio State program history. After improving by four wins in her first campaign, the Buckeyes have won a pro-gram-record 23 games thus far in 2017-18 (three more than the previous standard) and, at 23-9-4, have risen to No. 5 in the national polls heading into the WCHA Final Faceoff. After having not finished with a winning league record since 2006-07, Muzerall guided the Buckeyes to a program-best second-place finish this season with a school-record 14 WCHA wins (14-6-4-3). Additionally, her players earned five spots on 2017-18 All-WCHA teams.

Overall player OF The yearsydney BaldWin, sr., d, minnesOTa (minneTOnka, minn.)

Baldwin, a Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award top-10 finalist, was tied for third in the WCHA scoring race and paced league blueliners with 22 points (9g-13a) in conference games, along with a league-best 76 blocked shots. The native of Minnetonka, Minn. tallied a point in 14 of her 24 WCHA games, while factoring in four game-winning goals (2g-2a). The first-team All-WCHA performer also helped the Gophers to the league’s second-best power play in WCHA games.

Baldwin’s 32 points overall, from 12 goals and 20 assists, are tied for second among NCAA Division I blueliners, tops among her WCHA position peers and tied for fifth in the league overall. She has played in all 37 of Minnesota’s games, has tallied a point in 23 contests, has compiled an NCAA-best 99 blocked shots and owns a plus-26 rating. Perhaps most importantly, Baldwin is co-captain of a Gophers team that won the 2018 WCHA Final Faceoff to advance to the NCAA tournament.

Baldwin becomes just the third full-time blueliner to be named WCHA Player of the Year in the award’s 19-year history, joining two-time United States Olympian and fellow Gopher Courtney Kennedy (2001) and, most recently, an Olympic gold medalist with Canada, Ohio State alumna Tessa Bonhomme (2008). A fourth skater, Minnesota’s Ronda Curtin, was listed as a defenseman and forward when she earned WCHA Player of the Year honors in 2002.

cOaches pick minnesOTa as preseasOn Wcha FavOriTe

The coaches from the Women’s League of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) have picked the University of Minnesota to dethrone Wisconsin and win the regular season title of a league that has 16 national championships in its 18 years of existence.

Minnesota, which has competed in the NCAA Frozen Four for the past six seasons, collected four first-place votes and 34 points in the preseason poll of the WCHA’s seven head coaches.

Wisconsin, the two-time defending WCHA regular season champion (and winners of three-straight WCHA Final Faceoff crowns), a Frozen Four participant the last four years and the 2017 NCAA runner-up, placed a very close second in the coaches’ poll with 33 points and three first-place votes. Minnesota Duluth, coming off a 25-win campaign and No. 5 national ranking, and Ohio State, which improved by four wins a year ago and won a WCHA playoff game, tied for third place with 23 points apiece.

Bemidji State, with 14 points, was selected to finish in fifth place and St. Cloud State in sixth. Minnesota State was picked as the seventh-place finisher.

Ohio State redshirt-junior goaltender Kassidy Sauve, a second-team All-American last season after setting the Buckeyes’ single-season saves record with 1,135 (second-most in WCHA history), was the coaches’ preseason choice for league Player of the Year. Sauve, who ranked fifth nationally with an OSU-record .942 save percentage in 2016-17, received six of seven votes. Wisconsin sophomore forward Abby Roque, the 2016-17 WCHA Rookie of the Year with a league freshman-best 28 points, received the other vote.

Minnesota forward Grace Zumwinkle, who joins the Gophers after being named the 2017 USA Today High School Sports All-USA Girls Hockey Player of the Year and the Minnesota Ms. Hockey award winner, earned the coaches’ nod as preseason WCHA Rookie of the Year. Zumwinkle received four votes, beating out Minnesota Duluth forward Ashton Bell, Bemidji State forward Clair DeGeorge and Ohio State forward Emma Maltais (one vote apiece).

• The No. 5 Golden Gopher women’s hockey team punched its ticket to the NCAA tournament by winning the program’s seventh WCHA Final Faceoff title and earning the WCHA’s automatic NCAA tournament bid over the weekend. The Gophers and Badgers face off in the NCAA quarterfinal round at 2:07 p.m. CT Saturday at LaBahn Arena in Madison, Wis.

• Sidney Peters led Minnesota at the WCHA Final Faceoff by making 64 saves on 65 shots faced and earning WCHA Final Faceoff Most Outstanding Player honors. Sydney Baldwin, Taylor Williamson, and Grace Zumwinkle joined Peters on the all-tournament team as Minnesota defeated Ohio State, 2-0, and Wisconsin, 3-1, in the WCHA tournament. Zumwinkle (2g-1a), Taylor Wente (1g-2a), Olivia Knowles (2a), and Nicole Schammel (1g-1a) led the Gophers on the score sheet over the weekend.

• Minnesota (24-10-3) is making its 11th-straight and 16th overall appearance in the NCAA postseason. The Gophers have won four of the last six national championships, and Minnesota has only missed the NCAA tournament twice in its 18-year history. The Gophers are 10-2 all-time in NCAA quarterfinal games since the tournament expanded to eight teams in 2005.

• The Gophers’ 2018 Final Faceoff title is Minnesota’s first since 2014. The Gophers won three-straight titles in 2012, 2013, and 2014 and also took home WCHA postseason crowns in 2002, 2004, and 2005.

• Minnesota is 21-2-2 when leading after two periods this season. Likewise, the Gophers are 21-2-0 when allowing zero, one, or two goals this season.

• In the four 2018 postseason games, Peters leads NCAA goaltenders with a .972 save percentage and a 0.75 goals against average. She is 4-0-0 and is one of seven NCAA netminders with a shutout in the postseason.

• Minnesota has outscored its opponents 14-3 during four postseason games led by Schammel (3g-2a), Zumwinkle (3g-1a), and Wente (1g-3a).

• For the season, Baldwin (12g-20a) -- the WCHA Player of the Year -- leads WCHA defensemen and ranks fourth in the NCAA with 0.86 points per game. Her 24 career goals are tied for seventh among all-time Minnesota defensemen.

• Zumwinkle (17g-21a) ranks second in the WCHA and eighth in the NCAA among rookies with 1.03 points per game in 37 games played.

• Minnesota enters the NCAA postseason with an all-time program record of 621-130-52. The 2017-18 season marks the 21st season in Gopher women’s hockey history, and Minnesota secured the program's 599th and 600th all-time wins earlier this season.

• Eight players with Gopher ties won medals at the 2018 Winter Olympic Games. Senior Kelly Pannek and alumnae Hannah Brandt ('16), Dani Cameranesi (’17), Amanda Kessel ('16), Gigi Marvin ('09), and Lee Stecklein (’17) won gold with 2018 U.S. Women’s Olympic Team, and alumnae Noora Räty (’13) and Mira Jalosuo (’13) won bronze with Team Finland.

BadgersuniversiTy OF WiscOnsin

• After dropping the championship game of the WCHA Final Faceoff, 3-1, to Minnesota last week in Minneapolis, the second-ranked Badgers will meet the fifth-ranked Golden Gophers for a rematch in an NCAA quarterfinal game Saturday at LaBahn Arena. Puck drop is set for 2 p.m.

• The quarterfinal matchup can be seen for free on BTN2Go and can be heard on 1310 WIBA as Reid Magnum has the call.

• Saturday’s game marks the sixth meeting between the two teams in the 2017-18 season. The Badgers earned their first regular season sweep of the Golden Gophers in February after claiming the home series at LaBahn Arena.

• Wisconsin has won three-straight home contests against the Gophers, including a series sweep of Minnesota in February at LaBahn Arena. A win on Saturday would mark the longest home win-streak against the Gophers in program history.

• The Badgers have been stellar in Madison over the last three years, compiling a 53-1-2 record and a 52-1-2 record at LaBahn Arena .Last season at home, UW sported a 16-1-2 record at LaBahn Arena and the Kohl Center, outscoring opponents 87-12. UW also has a 28-game home unbeaten streak, outscoring opponents 130-18.

• This season, UW is a perfect 16-0-0 at LaBahn Arena and has outscored its opponents, 66-12, good for a +3.38 scoring margin average, which leads the nation. UW’s goals-against average of 0.75 in home games also leads the NCAA, while UW’s penalty-kill clip of .929 is also tied for the NCAA lead.

• One of the keys to UW’s success this year has been its success in the first period, as the Badgers have outscored their opponents 43-11, good for an NCAA-leading +32 goal differential in the opening frame.

• Kristen Campbell was named a Top-10 Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award Finalist after a breakout performance this season. The netminder tops the national leaderboard in several goaltending categories leading the NCAA in goals against average with a 1.17 clip while her save percentage of .941 also paces the country. Her 11 shutouts are the most by an NCAA goaltender this season.
