As further support of Michigan's choice of ND IF Alaska-Fairbanks wins,
in Berenson's 11 seasons as Michigan coach, his only loss to ND was this
past Feb. 25.  Other than that game, Michigan has really dominated ND
over the past several years.  The two teams played in the CCHA first
round in 1993 with Michigan winning 13-2 and 8-1.
 
Of course, you can't count out Ohio State.  Everyone knows that anything
can happen this time of the year.
