Analysis
The numbers call this a true toss-up — Western Mich. ranks #7 nationally vs. #10 for Minn. Duluth, so expect a competitive game.
Western Mich. brings a top-4 offense nationally (3.59 goals/game), which will challenge any defense.
Western Mich.'s potent offense (OE #4) runs into Minn. Duluth's stingy defense (DE #9) — could be a low-scoring battle.
