Right where they belonged — Norwich Cadets on the national stage.
After a dominant postseason run and a hard-fought shutout victory over Hamline, the No. 2 Cadets advanced to the NCAA Frozen Four for the first time since 2018. Led by Head Coach Justin Simpson and a deep, battle-tested roster, Norwich traveled to River Falls, Wisconsin, carrying momentum, confidence, and a championship mindset.
"This is incredible for Norwich, our passionate fans, and especially for our players," said Director of Athletics Ed Hockenbury. "It is an amazing group of young women, on and off the ice."
