Minnesota-Duluth beats Minnesota, will face Cornell for NCAA women’s hockey championship
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Under-appreciated Cornell isn’t done proving itself against the nation’s best college hockey programs.
Capitalizing on their first Frozen Four appearance, the Big Red have only one more team to turn into a believer — record-setting Minnesota-Duluth.
Catherine White scored the game-winner 13:14 into overtime as Cornell beat top-seeded Mercyhurst 3-2 in Friday’s first semifinal, setting up Sunday’s game with Minnesota-Duluth for the NCAA women’s hockey championship. The Bulldogs advanced with a 3-2 win against Minnesota on the strength of two goals from Emmanuelle Blais.
The Big Red (21-8-6) are in new territory. Second-seeded Minnesota-Duluth (30-8-2) will be playing for the title for a record sixth time and will be looking to build on its record four national titles.
Cornell’s unexpected run of upsets continued, this time coming against the nation’s No. 1-ranked team. Cornell beat No. 4 Harvard in the quarterfinals and has won 11 games in a row after starting the season 10-8-6.

2009 Los Angeles Auto Show
If the North American auto show season has an official kickoff party, the Los Angeles Auto Show is it. In addition to world debuts of the 2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe, 2011 Toyota Sienna and VW Up! Lite Concept, the 2009 LA Auto Show again played host to the Green Car of the Year announcement, which went to a diesel car for the second year in a row. The LA Auto Show is also a first chance to see and touch the cars unveiled around the world in the eight months since the New York Auto Show, which this year included jaw-droppers like the 2011 Lexus LFA and 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG.
