Saturday NCAA Frozen Four Regional Finals

Michigan advances to the Frozen Four with a tough fought win over Clarkson 2-0 in the East Regional Final. The last three minutes of the game were exciting. Clarkson had two man advantage for over a minute, but were not able to put in the net. Congratulations to Michigan.

Next game is the CCHA battle between defending champion Michigan State and Notre Dame on ESPNU at 10 PM ET. The lowest seeds advanced in the West Regional Final. Should be a good game as well.

Current brackets at ESPNU here.

Update 30 March 2008 7:35 AM ET:

Notre Dame defeats Michigan State, 3-1, to advance to the Frozen Four and face another CCHA rival, Michigan. First four seed to advance to the Frozen Four. Norte Dame is finding it scoring touch as they have 10 different players scoring their 10 goals in the first two games of the tournament. NCAA.com has post game story here. ESPNU video review here.
