University of Denver wins 5-1. It is their 9th National Championship. Minnesota State played in their first championship game.
DU was behind 0-1 after two periods. Minnesota State is a heck of a team and was keeping the initiative and outshooting Denver by a large margin. Denver hung on and scored twice early in the third. After that, MSU lost any momentum and at this level it proved decisive.
In a tournament where one loss and you're out, I congratulate DU.
Minnesota State has a great coach and they aren't a one hit wonder. In a best of 3, 5, or 7 they are clearly more talented. They'll be a force to reckon with for quite a while.
GO PIONEERS!!!
