It's back-to-back trips to the NCAA Frozen Four for the Minnesota men's hockey team thanks to a decisive, 4-1 win over No. 6 St. Cloud State in the 2023 NCAA Fargo Regional Final from Scheels Arena. The No. 1 Golden Gophers are making their 23rd trip to the NCAA Frozen Four, this year in Tampa, Fla., behind multi-point efforts from Logan Cooley, Jackson LaCombe and Jaxon Nelson in front of a record-setting crowd Saturday.

In a region that featured all three NCAA Tournament teams from the State of Hockey, it was those clad in Maroon and Gold that proved to be the best. Cooley broke a 1-1 tie scoring on a breakaway in the second period for the game winner, while LaCombe and Nelson added insurance tallies during the third as all three skaters had a goal and an assist. Minnesota (28-9-1 overall) earned its NCAA-best 12th victory over a top-10 team this season and second against the in-state Huskies (25-13-3 overall).
