Many questioned whether No. 3 Michigan was as good as advertised. After meeting their toughest competition to date on Friday, it’s safe to say the Wolverines could be a dominant team.<\/p>\n

Michigan got two goals from Matty Beniers and erased an early 1-0 deficit, scoring the game’s final five goals as the Wolverines advanced past tournament host and No. 5 Minnesota Duluth in the IceBreaker, 5-1.<\/p>\n

Michigan will face No. 1 Minnesota State, a 5-2 winner over Providence on Friday, in Saturday’s championship game.<\/p>\n

Jesse Jacques gave the host Bulldogs a solid start, scoring at 10:04 of the first. But from there it was all Michigan.<\/p>\n

Luke Hughes evened the score in the final minute of the first on the power play. Brendan Brisson and Beniers then spotted Michigan a two-goal lead with tallies in the middle frame.<\/p>\n
