Denver Beats Wisconsin 2-1 for Its 11th National Title, 3rd in 5 Years
Denver seeks its 11th national title while Wisconsin aims to end a 20-year championship drought and boost the Big Ten's standing.
- The Wisconsin Badgers and Denver Pioneers meet Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas for the NCAA hockey championship, pitting the Big Ten against the National Collegiate Hockey Conference.
- Already holding national titles in football, men's basketball, and women's basketball this year, the Big Ten seeks unprecedented dominance; a Wisconsin victory would make it the only power conference to win all four championships.
- Denver seeks its third title in five years while holding the overall record with 10 championships. The Pioneers overcame being outshot 52-26 to defeat top-seeded Michigan 4-3 in double overtime in the semifinals.
- Bragging rights extend beyond the schools; the National Collegiate Hockey Conference has claimed seven of the past nine national championships. The Badgers hold a 76-66-13 all-time record against the Pioneers, former Western Collegiate Hockey Association rivals.
- Wisconsin seeks its first title since 2006, and a victory would establish Madison as the country's college hockey capital. ESPN will televise the contest at 4:30 p.m. Central from the neutral-site arena.
