Western Michigan Shows Off 'Pro Style' In NCAA Tourney Opener
On paper, Friday's NCAA first-round win for defending national champion Western Michigan might seem all too familiar to the Broncos' inspired tournament run a year ago.And yes, undoubtedly, there are similarities.

Wisconsin Put Its Layoff to Good Use
When Wisconsin last took to the ice, in a Big Ten quarterfinal against Ohio State, it was demoralized and humiliated in a 7-1 loss to Ohio State on home ice. What it all meant, was that the Badgers had 15 days of rest entering its NCAA Tournament First Round game on Thursday night.In the past, that didn't serve Wisconsin, which hadn't won an NCAA Tournament game since 2010, well. On this night, however...

A Great Debut
Based on what I know about Kendra Woodland, I don't think she concerns herself with being the first to do anything. I assume it would be nice to be the first to accomplish something big, but everything I've read and heard about Kendra suggests that she only wants to be her best self when she's in net to help her team. Tonight in Minnesota, she finally got that chance with her new team as the Ottawa Charge called upon her to make her first appearance in the PWHL, marking only the second time th...

Augustine to the Rescue for Michigan State
Taking the first three penalties of a game, in the first period, is hardly recipe for success at any time, but especially in an NCAA Tournament game, where you needed to get back in the groove after two weeks off.But the Michigan State penalty kill came to play and largely shut down a Connecticut team that brought its 'A' game.
