The Wisconsin Badgers will be playing on Saturday as they took care of the RIT Tigers with an 8-1 victory in the first semifinal game of the Frozen Four. Derek Stepan had two goals while John Mitchell, Jordy Murray, Blake Geoffrion, Justin Schultz, Michael Davies, and Craig Smith all had one goal. RIT's lone goal was scored by Tyler Brenner. Brenden Smith had three assists.
RIT was outshot 37-14 in the game and just looked out of place as Wisconsin controlled the game for pretty much the full 60 minutes. The only goal they allowed was Brenner's powerplay goal at the end of the second period. The Badgers controlled the play and will now face the winner of the Boston College/Miami (OH) game that will face off at 8:30 pm EST.
