The Wisconsin women's hockey team earned the No. 1 seed for the WCHA Final Face-off where a champion will be crowned at the conclusion of the tournament. There are only three total games and Wisconsin is hoping to play in 2 of the 3. The first round games are where the first seed faces off against the fourth seed, and the other game is the second seed versus the third seed. The winner of each game will advance to the championship game to determine the overall WCHA champion.
Wisconsin is the defending champion and is looking to keep the crown and hold on to their championship status. It's a set of games you won't want to miss if you are a hockey fan.

It may feel like at first that Minnesota-Duluth is getting a home game even though they are the 4th seed, but it's simply because they were already the host site, determined long ago for this whole event. Wisconsin will have to battle through that and make sure they can win in spite of having to play where the arena will be hostile to them.
