WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH.

At the University of Wisconsin, seven hockey titles are historic.

As the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation would have it, those are the headlines, these are the details.

The national championship is coming home.

The Wisconsin women’s hockey team scored a 1-0 victory over Ohio State in the NCAA Division I championship game Sunday afternoon at AMSOIL Arena.

The victory capped a tournament run that include victories over the tournament’s top three seeds. The Badgers (29-10-2) defeated No. 3 Colgate in the regional final, No. 2 Minnesota in the national semifinal and finally the defending national champion Buckeyes.

Freshman Kirsten Simms’ goal at the 13:28 mark of the first period was the lone score of the game.

Senior goalie Cami Kronish did the rest. She turned away 31 shots and was named the most valuable player of the Frozen Four.

The championship raised UW's all-time total to seven, the best of any program. It also marked the third championship for seniors Kronish, Nicole LaMantia, Sophie Shirley, Natalie Buchbinder and Britta Curl.

The men's team?  Six national titles, four of those forty to fifty years ago, the most recent in 2006, and conducting a coaching search.

The best in the West, the heck with the East.  Let's Go Red!
