The NCHA Slaats Cup Semifinals have gone final!
Adrian College handled its series, topping Marian University by a score of 5-1 Saturday night to make it a 2-0 sweep following the 4-0 shutout Friday.
Lake Forest College did not have the same simple route, going the distance – and then some – to finally earn the series win late Saturday by topping St. Scholastica in double overtime of a mini-game on a goal by Amy Budde.
That mini-game was made possible after the Saints responded with a 2-0 victory in the second game of the series. The Foresters grabbed a game one win by a score of 2-1 Friday.
Adrian College (25-2-0) and Lake Forest College (21-5-1) will play in the Slaats Cup Finals on Saturday, March 4 in Adrian, Michigan.
