UW-River Falls women’s hockey discusses back to back NCAA D-III Championships

It was going to be hard for the Wisconsin-River Falls women’s hockey team to top last winter’s undefeated, championship season. While they took a few more losses along the way, the Falcons still ended up as Division III National Champs again this year.

Backed by a home-ice crowd in the Frozen Four for a second straight year, the Falcons took down West Region #1 Augsburg and East Region #1 Amherst to defend their national title.
