The waiting is over for UMass. The Minutemen are national champions for the first time.

Trivigno scored the goal that capped off UMass' 5-0 victory against St. Cloud State in the NCAA championship game at PPG Paints Arena.

Sidelined in a hotel room near campus back in Amherst, Mass., a nervous Filip Lindberg had to watch his teammates play Thursday from a 500-mile distance.

Philip Lagunov's goal five minutes into the second period was a backbreaker to St. Cloud State's hopes at a rally from a two-goal deficit.

The Huskies were shut out by UMass in their first appearance in the national championship game, just like the Minutemen were blanked by Minnesota Duluth in 2019, their first time in the final game of the season.

The Huskies and the Minutemen both go in search of their program's first NCAA championship in Saturday's game.

With experience from two years ago, this Friday at the Frozen Four was intentionally calm for the Minutemen ahead of Saturday's game against St. Cloud State at PPG Paints Arena.

If St. Cloud State's Will Hammer has one more goal in him, it will make the contrast between his regular season and his postseason more remarkable.

PITTSBURGH – In a year that has been about the next man up and showing resiliency for St. Cloud State, the battle-tested Huskies will now play for a national championship on Saturday night.

Matt Murray's last start before the Frozen Four semifinals was Jan. 18, but he made 36 saves to help UMass to victory.

The Bulldogs were blocking shots at a higher rate than UMass was recording shots on goal but they couldn't hold off an oncoming charge by the Minutemen as the game wore on.

Leading scorer Carson Gicewicz, starting goaltender Filip Lindberg and backup goalie Henry Graham will travel to Pittsburgh on Friday.

Minnesota has called itself the state of hockey for years now, but even someone who rolls their eyes at the saying would have to admit that it rang true in college hockey this season. What else would you call a state that put all five Division I programs into the 16-team postseason tournament and will make up 75 percent of the Frozen Four?

Each week during the season, we look at the big events and big games around Division I men’s college hockey in Tuesday Morning Quarterback. NOTE: This is our final TMQ of the 2020-21 season.

We look back game-by-game at the 2021 NCAA men's D-I hockey regionals and discuss what advanced the four regional champs to the Frozen Four.

Pittsburgh's PPG Paints Arena hosts the Frozen Four on April 8 and 10.
