Michigan Tech won the Jeff Sauer Trophy as the WCHA playoff champion on Saturday night, defeating Northern Michigan 2-0 in Marquette, Michigan.
The Huskies, the tournament’s fifth seed, played all of its games on the road, going 5-1 (2-1 at Minnesota State in the semifinals) to earn the conference’s automatic bid into the NCAA tournament.
Against the Wildcats, goaltender Patrick Munson stopped all 21 shots he faced and held a 1-0 lead on a second-period goal by Greyson Reitmeier until Joel L’Esperance’s empty-netter in the final minute.
Michigan Tech also won the WCHA playoff title last year.
