UMD To Face Wisconsin Friday
With all of the hockey games this weekend I got too busy to put up a post from each game but all should be normal now.
With UMD's first round sweep, and Johanna Ellison's TWO SHUTOUTS of North Dakota this weekend, UMD advances to the WCHA Semifinals to take on Wisconsin Friday.
I believe that UMD needs to win the WCHA tournament, presumably beating Minnesota in the final (if they beat Mankato) to attain a HOME NCAA Quarterfinal game. All three teams have been in the top 4 in the 'Pairwise' rankings, but I cannot see the NCAA giving 3 first round home games to teams from the West when the Frozen Four is being held out East in Boston. Stranger things have happened but I believe that to be the scenario required for a home ice NCAA tourney game.

We're looking for women's hockey bloggers at www.collegefanz.com, the largest college site on the net. I think your blog would do well there since we focus mainly on non-revenue sports. We have a national audience, a very active membership that will give your blogging the views it deserves. You could definitely bring new fans to the UMD program, especially since your coverage is seemingly comprehensive.
Take a look around the site and let me know what you think at mgleeson@collegefanz.com. I hope to hear from you soon, as I truly believe our free blogging tools can help you out.
