They proceeded to oust Midland University 5-2 in the semifinals before edging Maryville (Mo.) University, 2-1 in double overtime, to clinch their seventh national title. They Lady Flames will face the Antelopes on March 18 at 9 p.m. EST and the Purple Eagles on March 19 at 9 p.m. EST with the winner of the pool going on to the semifinals.

University (25-10), on Saturday, March 14, at 11:15 a.m. EST near St. Louis.The Flames moved up one spot to No. 5 in the national rankings even after going 0-1-1 in its final regular season series against No. 2 Ohio University at the LaHaye Ice Center.
