Minnesota captured its fifth NCAA title and second-straight
championship with a 5-1 win over New Hampshire in the 2003 NCAA championship
game at HSBC Arena in Buffalo, N.Y. Minnesota posted a 28-8-9 overall record in
2002-03 and for the second-straight season, the Gophers went the entire season
without suffering consecutive losses. In addition to the national championship,
Minnesota also captured the Broadmoor Trophy as the Western Collegiate Hockey
Association Final Five champions. Paul Martin captured Second Team All-America
honors while Thomas Vanek was the nation's leading rookie scorer and finished
one goal shy of John Mayasich's freshman goal record.
Saturday's series finale with the Bulldogs is set for 7 p.m.
at Mariucci Arena. The Big Ten Network and 1500 ESPN will broadcast the action.
