Regular season champion Wisconsin clinched its 10th WCHA league title in program history to earn the tournament's top-seed and will face the fourth-seeded Minnesota Duluth Bulldogs in Friday's first semifinal at 1 p.m. CT. The Badgers took all four games from the Bulldogs during the regular season. In their last two meetings in Duluth, Wisconsin won both games by a score of 2-1, including an overtime win on Jan. 31.
Second-seeded Ohio State will face the third-seed Minnesota in the second semifinal contest on Friday at 4:30 PM CT. The Buckeyes took eight points from the Gophers during the season after earning two wins and a shootout win. In the most recent series at Ridder Arena, the teams split, with Minnesota winning 3-1 in the opener and Ohio State winning the second game of the series with a 7-3 victory.
Wisconsin enters the event as the defending Final Faceoff champion after defeating Ohio State 6-3 in last year's title game in what was the preview of the NCAA Title game two weeks later.
The winner of the 2025 Kwik Trip WCHA Final Faceoff receives the league’s automatic bid into the NCAA Women’s Ice Hockey Championship.
