WCHA ROUNDUP
By The Associated Press
Wisconsin took an extra game to get to WCHA Final Five, but the
playing field evens again when the tournament begins Thursday
night at the St. Paul Civic Center.
The Badgers captured the final tourney berth Sunday night,
defeating Northern Michigan 5-1 for a 2-1 edge in the best-of-3
first-round playoff series.
Wisconsin, which defeated Northern Michigan 5-4 in the second
game of the series after losing the opener 4-3, joined Minnesota,
North Dakota, Colorado College and Denver in the Final Five.
The action resumes Thursday night when Minnesota meets North
Dakota. Wisconsin goes against Denver in the first game on Friday,
with the Minnesota-North Dakota winner taking on Colorado College
in the second game.
The third place and championship games will be played Saturday.
In Sunday's game, Wisconsin jumped to a 5-0 lead in the first
period on goals by Erik Raygor, Mike Strobel, Shawn Carter, Brad
Englehart and Max Williams.
Kirk Daubenspeck made 25 saves, but had his shutout bid spoiled
by Wildcat Brent Riplinger at 7:34 of the third period.
The other Final Five teams swept their opponents in games
Friday and Saturday nights.
Minnesota topped Minnesota-Duluth 4-3 Saturday after claiming
a 5-4 win in overtime Friday; North Dakota stopped St. Cloud State
5-2 Saturday and 3-2 Friday; Denver beat Michigan Tech 5-2 in the
second game after a 5-4 victory in overtime the first night; and
