Welcome to the 2003 NCAA Women's Frozen Four

The University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD) is proud to host the third NCAA Women's Frozen Four.

The four-team national women's ice hockey championship is scheduled for March 21 and March 23 at the 5,333-seat Duluth Entertainment Convention Center (DECC).

"We are extremely excited to have the opportunity to bring the Women's Frozen Four to Duluth," said UMD Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Bob Corran. "There is a rich history of girl's and women's hockey in northeastern Minnesota and hosting the Frozen Four in Duluth will add another chapter to that history."

UMD captured the first two Women's Frozen Four titles. The inaugural event was held in Minneapolis in March of 2001 as the Bulldogs took a 4-2 decision from St. Lawrence University in the national final. Last season, UMD defeated Brown University, 3-2, in Durham, NH.

The 2003 Frozen Four will mark the third time UMD has been awarded an NCAA national event. UMD hosted the NCAA Division I Men's Ice Hockey Championships in both 1968 and 1981.
