The Two-Minute Minor - An Edition of the Penalty Box Post
Monday, February 28th
Gophers to face Minnesota Duluth in Final Faceoff 1st semifinal Saturday;
Wisconsin and Ohio State to meet in second game
All four WCHA quarterfinal series completed with the higher-seeded home teams advancing, as Minnesota swept St. Thomas, Ohio State swept St. Cloud State, Wisconsin swept Bemidji State, and Minnesota Duluth eliminated Minnesota State in three games. As a result, the top-seeded Gophers will face the Bulldogs in the first of the Final Faceoff semifinal games, scheduled for 1:00 p.m. this upcoming Saturday, March 5, at Ridder Arena. The Badgers and Buckeyes will square off in the second semifinal at roughly 4:00 p.m.
We will recap the quarterfinal series and preview the Final Faceoff match-ups in our regular edition of the Penalty Box Post later this week. The WCHA has created a Final Faceoff Tournament Central site loaded with information, along with publishing a separate press release confirming the bracket.
