This move in turn led to the demise of the WCHA men's division.
The women's hockey team competes in the WCHA, now a women-only league.
The team defeated number one seed Notre Dame in a first round upset.
The team later defeated Cornell to advance to its first Division I Frozen Four appearance, but then lost to Miami University in the semifinals.
As of May 2011, the Men's Track and Field Program will be discontinued due to future budget constraints.
