BYU withstood a ferocious charge from Wisconsin’s John Tonje to hold off the Badgers for a 91-89 victory Saturday that sends the program to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2011 — the days of Jimmer Fredette.

The NCAA Women’s Frozen Four is here! On Friday night, the top-ranked Wisconsin Badgers take on the host Minnesota Golden Gophers in the national semifinals. It’s almost as if Wisconsin has taken last year’s loss in the championship game personally.

Badgers vs. Buckeyes with a national title on the line has become a familiar refrain. The two met in 2023, a 1-0 Wisconsin triumph, then again in 2024, a 1-0 Ohio State win. This year marks the third straight title game between the two women's hockey powerhouses.
