In a 2-1 win over UMass on Saturday night, WMU punched their ticket to the semifinals of the NCAA Division I Men's Ice Hockey Championship.

While the Broncos fell behind the Minutemen midway through the first period, they rallied during a five-minute power play, scoring in the second and third periods to race toward a victory.

WMU will play the winner of Boston College v. Denver in their semifinal matchup, scheduled for Thursday, April 10 at Enterprise Center in St. Louis, Missouri.
