The frozen four are set after eleven women's college ice hockey teams punched their tickets to make or break their dreams.

It's top-seeded Ohio State, Wisconsin, Penn State, and No. 5 Northeastern who had to upset No. 4 Minnesota to get in.

Yale, UConn and Quinnipiac earned their way to Saturday to play against the top seeds but fell short.

Semifinals play continues next Friday, March 20 and a national champion will be crowned after puck drop at 4:00 p.m. on Sunday, March 22.

Here's the bracket and schedule.
