Miami (11-12 overall) will look for its first tournament championship since 2010 next weekend when it takes the court in Muncie, Ind. The RedHawks open play Saturday morning at 10 a.m. against the winner of a quarterfinal match between No. 4 seed and host Ball State and fifth-seeded Western Michigan.

The RedHawks took the doubles point by winning two of three matches. Alix Thurman and Nimisha Mohan starting things with an 8-5 win at No. 2. After the Huskies captured the top doubles flight, Christiana Raymond and Ramona Costea put Miami up 1-0 with an 8-5 victory at No. 3.

NIU (14-10, 0-8) cut into the lead with a victory at No. 1, but Costea sealed the championship-clinching victory with a 6-4, 7-5 win at No. 6.

The team split the final two matches with Ana Rajkovic winning at No. 5, 6-4, 7-5, before NIU took the No. 2 tie.

Miami had its 33-match regular-season conference winning streak snapped at the start of the year, but won seven straight after that.

Czarnik (Washington, Mich.) becomes the 15th Miami player in program history to garner All-America accolades while he is just the eighth different Miamian to achieve First-Team honors. The RedHawks have now had at least one player named an All-American each of the last 10 years, which is the longest active streak in the country in Division I. Miami has also had a First-Team All-American each of the last three years with Hobey Baker Award winner Andy Miele claiming the honor in 2011 and forward Reilly Smith garnering the first-team nod last year. Miami’s 15 All-Americans have now combined to earn All-America distinction 18 times (Dan Boyle, Andy Greene and Carter Camper are two-time honorees).

Czarnik is one of just three CCHA players named to the West All-America First Team while a total of five CCHA players were named All-Americans. Joining Czarnik on the West First Team are Ohio State senior goaltender Brady Hjelle and Michigan freshman defenseman Jacob Trouba from the CCHA, as well as St. Cloud State junior defenseman Nick Jensen, North Dakota senior forward Danny Kristo and SCSU senior forward Drew LeBlanc. Czarnik was the lone sophomore on the West First Team and one of just two second years named a West All-American, while a total of five sophomores garnered All-America honors. The last RedHawk sophomore to earn the honor was goaltender Cody Reichard in 2010.

Czarnik, who was also a Hobey Baker Memorial Award finalist, garnered CCHA Player of the Year and First-Team All-CCHA honors this season, as well. An All-CCHA Rookie Team honoree last year as a freshman, the shifty center totaled 40 points on 14 goals and 26 assists while playing in all 42 games this year. His 40 points led the CCHA in overall scoring and tied for 17th nationally while his 26 helpers tied for the CCHA lead and 15th nationally. In league play only, Czarnik tied for fourth with 26 points in 28 games, while his 18 helpers tied for second. He also scored eight goals in CCHA play, including one of his three game-winning goals on the year, which were his first career game-winners.

Czarnik was named CCHA Player of the Month for October after totaling eight points in six games and also collected CCHA Postgame® Offensive Player of the Week after a five-point weekend vs. Alaska Nov. 30 and Dec. 1. The 20-year-old undrafted free agent tallied a team-best 13 multi-point games on the year, including four multi-goal games and nine multi-assist contests. He tied a career high with three three-point games this season and had a season-long four-game point streak during the postseason from March 16-30, totaling seven points during that span. Czarnik led the entire NCAA with four short-handed goals while tallying one power play goal. The 5-foot-9 pivot boasted a +19 rating, which tied for 14th nationally. He also blocked 36 shots, as he was a finalist for CCHA Best Defensive Forward while playing on Miami’s top penalty kill and power play units.

Czarnik helped lead Miami to the 2012-13 CCHA regular-season championship with a 17-7-4 league record and spurred the RedHawks to an eighth straight NCAA Tournament appearance, where Miami made the Midwest Regional final. The ‘Hawks finished with a 25-12-5 record, its most wins since 2009-10.

In his two-year career so far, Czarnik has totaled 77 career points on 24 goals and 53 assists while playing in 82 games, missing just one in his career. He has six short-handed goals and three game-winners while compiling a +44 rating. He will be one of 20 RedHawks returning next season.

The fifth-ranked RedHawks (25-11-5) turned it on in the final two frames, as senior forwards Curtis McKenzie and Marc Hagel, junior forward Max Cook and sophomore forward Cody Murphy all found the back of the net. Additionally, sophomore forwards Blake Coleman and Austin Czarnik tallied two assists apiece while Murphy and Cook also added a helper for a two-point night.

“It’s pretty nice to get a win in the tournament again,” McKenzie said. “I thought Steven Spinell and Joe Hartman have done a good job trying to lead the team. I think everyone else did a great job as well. We have a lot of young guys in our lineup and a lot of energy going on, so I think we held our emotions pretty well and it’s great to get that first win.”

The eighth-ranked Mavericks (24-14-3) were held scoreless for the first time this year, as Miami freshman goaltender Ryan McKay tallied 20 saves. The RedHawks’ suburb defense, which recorded 28 blocked shots, helped the team earn its first NCAA Tournament shutout in school history.

Both squads battled in the opening period, but neither was able to capitalize on its scoring chances despite several power play opportunities. Minnesota State finished 0-for-4 with the man-advantage, while Miami was 0-for-1, with the lone power play a five-minute major.

“The game could have gone either way (after the first),” MU coach Enrico Blasi said. “Ryan made some nice saves in the first, they hit a couple of posts.”

The RedHawks opened the scoring with 8:56 left in the second on a 3-on-1 breakout. Czarnik took the puck up the right side and dished it to freshman forward Riley Barber, who had just stepped out of the penalty box. Barber quickly went back to Czarnik, who found McKenzie trailing near the far post. The Golden, B.C. native beat MSU goalie Stephon Williams on a top-shelf backhand shot, which was his 11th goal of the season.

“I look up and Czarnik’s taking off, Barber’s coming out of the box, so I just tried to get on my horse,” McKenzie said. “Czarnik gave me a nice pass right at my skate, and somehow I got it up over the goalie.”

Miami improved to 21-2-1 this season when scoring first this season with the win.

Coleman helped put the ‘Hawks up 2-0 2:30 into the third period, as he beat two Maverick defenseman and found Hagel for a one-timer at the far post after a feed through the crease. The Hamilton, Ont. native has six goals on the year, while Murphy also earned an assist on the play.

The RedHawks padded their lead midway through the final frame, scoring one of their three third-period goals. After several hacks at the puck, which was lingering in front of the net, Murphy netted his 11th score of the season chipping it over a sprawled out Williams.

Miami then sealed the win with 58 seconds to go, as Cook scored on the empty net. The goal was the Frankfort, Ill. native’s fourth of the season.

With the win, the RedHawks advance to the Midwest Regional Final where they will face St. Cloud State on Sunday at 4 p.m. The Huskies defeated Notre Dame, 5-1, in Saturday’s early semifinal. The game will be televised on ESPNU.

“They’re the WCHA regular-season champion, that’s all I need to say about St. Cloud,” Blasi said. “They played great against Notre Dame. I got the chance to watch the second and third periods and they dominated. I thought Notre Dame tried to push there at the end, but they just kept coming.”

Miami has moved on to the second round of the NCAA Tournament five times in program history now with its last trip coming in 2010.

Saturday’s first-round matchup is set for 5 p.m. ET at the Huntington Center and will be streamed live on ESPN3.com. It will also be shown on tape delay on ESPNU.

Joining the RedHawks and Mavericks in the Midwest Regional are fellow CCHA foe and CCHA Tournament champion Notre Dame, which is the No. 1 seed in the regional, and WCHA regular-season champion St. Cloud State, which is the No. 4 seed.  The Fighting Irish and Huskies play in the first game Saturday at 1:30 p.m. ET. The regional championship is slated for Sunday, March 31 at 4 p.m. and will be shown live on ESPNU.

Miami is making its 11th NCAA Tournament appearance in program history while its eight straight NCAA Tournament appearances is now the second-longest streak in the country behind North Dakota (11 straight years), which is a No. 2 seed in the West Regional. Michigan had the longest NCAA Tournament streak at 22 years, but its NCAA record streak ended this season. Miami dropped its first-round NCAA Tournament game last year to UMass-Lowell in overtime, 4-3.

The RedHawks are a No. 2 seed for the second straight year and third time overall, also earning it in the 2006 NCAA Tournament, though the ‘Hawks are 0-2 as a No. 2 seed. Miami is 7-10 all-time in the NCAA Tournament and last appeared in the Midwest Regional in 2010, when the RedHawks won the regional and advanced to the Frozen Four. This year’s Frozen Four will be held in Pittsburgh, Pa. April 11 and 13.

Miami is 1-0-1 all-time against Minnesota State, winning in Mankato, Minn. Dec. 30, 1996, while the teams last met on the same date in 2004, which ended in a 3-3 tie. That game was held on neutral ice in Columbus, Ohio in the Ohio Hockey Classic though the two sides have never met in the NCAA Tournament. The ‘Hawks are 3-2 against current WCHA foes in the NCAA Tournament with all three wins coming in the 2009 NCAA Tournament.

The RedHawks enter the NCAA Tournament with a 24-11-5 overall record while going 17-7-4-4 in the CCHA to capture the program’s fourth regular-season championship. Miami boasts its eighth straight 20-win season and is coming off a fourth straight trip to the CCHA Championship at Joe Louis Arena where the RedHawks lost to Michigan in the semifinals Saturday (yesterday). Miami collected several individual CCHA honors this year as head coach Enrico Blasi was named Coach of the Year for the fifth time while sophomore forward Austin Czarnik, who is a Hobey Baker Award finalist, was named the league’s Player of the Year and freshman forward Riley Barber earned CCHA Rookie of the Year.

Minnesota State posted a record of 24-13-3 overall and 16-11-1 in WCHA play this year to tie for fourth in the league. The Mavericks, who are making just their second ever trip to the NCAA Tournament, won their first-round series in the WCHA Tournament over Nebraska Omaha, but fell to Wisconsin in the quarterfinals. Minnesota State’s other NCAA Tournament appearance came in 2002-03, when the Mavericks lost in the first round. They are coached by Mike Hastings, who is in his first year at Minnesota State.

Tickets for Miami’s game against Minnesota State in the Midwest Regional in Toledo can be purchased here. To be eligible for tickets, fans must be a member of the Red & White Club by making a $100 donation.

The RedHawks have now had a Hobey Baker finalist each of the last four seasons, which is the longest active streak in the country. Miami has also had a finalist for college hockey’s top honor in eight of the last 10 years (since 2003-04), with nine RedHawks being named a finalist during that time, which is the most in the country over that period. Reilly Smith was Miami’s Hobey Baker finalist last year while Carter Camper and Andy Miele were both finalists in 2011 and goaltender Cody Reichard was a finalist in 2010. Miele is Miami’s lone Hobey Baker Award winner.

Czarnik (Washington, Mich.), in addition to being a Hobey Baker finalist, is also one of three finalists for CCHA Player of the Year and a finalist for CCHA Best Defensive Forward. The shifty forward earned First-Team All-CCHA this season while totaling 36 points on 14 goals and 22 assists, all of which rank second on the team. He has played in all 39 games this season and ranks fourth in the CCHA with his 36 points, as do his 22 helpers, while his 14 goals tie for 11th in the CCHA. In league play only, Czarnik tied for fourth with 26 points in 28 games while his 18 helpers tied for second.

On the year, Czarnik has a point in 22 of 39 games, including 11 multi-point games. He had four multi-goal games and seven multi-assist games, while tying a career high with three points three times this season –- Oct. 20 vs. Providence, Nov. 9 vs. Northern Michigan and Nov. 30 at Alaska. The 20-year-old boasts a +20 rating, which ranks second in the CCHA and ties for 10th nationally. Czarnik leads the entire NCAA by himself with four short-handed goals while tallying one power play goal and scoring three game-winning goals, the first three of his career.

Czarnik was named CCHA Player of the Month for October after totaling eight points in six games and also collected CCHA Postgame® Offensive Player of the Week after a five-point weekend vs. Alaska Nov. 30-Dec. 1. He had a season-long four-game point streak from Oct. 19-27. The 5-foot-9 center also blocked 32 shots this year while playing on Miami’s top penalty kill unit and first power play unit.

In just two years, Czarnik has totaled 73 career points in 79 games with 24 goals and 49 assists. He has a +45 rating and six short-handed goals, which already ties for third in school history. The sport studies major was named to the CCHA All-Rookie Team as a freshman, as well. He already has a team-best 21 multi-point games, including five multi-goal outings.

Czarnik is one of just two sophomores named a Hobey Baker finalist along with Boston College forward Johnny Gaudreau.

“We’re excited to return to the WNIT,” said head coach Maria Fantanarosa. “The field is very competitive and will give us an opportunity to continue to compete. This team has battled through adversity to make tremendous progress this year. Our hard work throughout this season has been rewarded by this invitation.”

Miami finished the regular season 19-12 and 10-6 in the Mid-American Conference. The RedHawks are led by seniors Courtney Osborn and Kirsten Olowinski. Osborn, a First-Team All-MAC selection for the second straight season, has averaged a career-high 19.1 points per game in 2013. She has become Miami’s all-time leading scorer and is sixth in MAC history with 2,147 points. Olowinski, a Second-Team All-MAC selection, averages a double-double of 12.2 points and 10.4 rebounds per game. She has become Miami’s all-time leading rebounder and is second in MAC history with 1,140 rebounds.

Illinois is 16-13 overall and finished 9-7 in the Big Ten Conference. A strong offensive team, the Illini average 70.0 points per game. They are led by a pair of Second-Team All-Big Ten selections in senior forward Karisma Penn and sophomore guard Adrienne Godbold. Penn averages 19.0 points and 9.7 rebounds per game. Godbold averages 17.0 points and 7.1 rebounds per contest.

The time of the game will be announced on Tuesday by the WNIT officials. The winner of the contest between the RedHawks and the Illini will face the winner of a game between Missouri and Eastern Illinois in the second round at a date and site to be announced.

Miami was one of a record five MAC teams to receive a berth in the WNIT, joining Toledo, Ball State, Bowling Green and Akron.

Miami freshman forward Sean Kuraly recorded the first multi-goal game of his career Sunday, while classmate Kevin Morris and sophomore forward Austin Czarnik also found the back of the net. Senior defenseman Steven Spinell tallied two assists.

The RedHawks will face No. 7-seed Michigan in the semifinals on Saturday in Detroit at Joe Louis Arena. Semifinal game times are 1:05 p.m. and 4:35 p.m. though Miami’s time slot has not yet been announced.

The Wolverines defeated No. 10-seed Northern Michigan in the opening round of the CCHA Tournament and swept No. 3-seed Western Michigan in the quarterfinals. No. 2-seed Notre Dame and No. 4-seed Ohio State will face off in the other semifinal matchup.

“This is the first senior class to go (to the CCHA Semifinals) all four years,” Miami coach Enrico Blasi said. “It’s not an easy place to get to and for them to be there all four years is quite an accomplishment.”

The RedHawks opened the scoring Sunday with a short-handed goal at the 15:03 mark of the first period. Michigan State goalie Jake Hildebrand attempted to clear the puck behind his own net, but his shot hit the goal post instead. Morris, who was waiting near the crease, easily redirected the puck into the wide-open net. The short-handed goal was Miami’s eighth of the season, which is second-most nationally behind Robert Morris’ nine, while MU also scored short-handed Saturday night. It was Morris’ seventh tally of the season and first short-handed.

Kuraly put the ‘Hawks up 2-0 with 2:07 left in the opening frame, as he swooped through the right circle and ripped a hard wrist shot past Hildebrand. Kuraly ended a scoring slump, as his last goal came against Lake Superior on Dec. 7, 2012. Spinell and freshman forward Alex Gacek earned assists on the play.

“Michigan State played a great game tonight,” Blasi said. “They came at us and we got a lucky bounce on the first goal. I thought the second was a great effort by Kuraly.”

Hildebrand, who finished with nine saves and took the loss, was replaced with Will Yanakeff between the pipes before the start of the second period.

The Spartans scored their lone goal 6:46 into the second period on the power play with a 5-on-3 advantage. Matt DeBlouw blasted a one-timer from the blue line past freshman goaltender Ryan McKay, who finished with 18 saves on 19 shots while making his fifth straight start in net. Michigan State finished 1-for-7 with the man-advantage however, while the RedHawks were 1-for-5 a man up.

Miami, which was called for five penalties in the second frame compared to MSU’s one, was able to hold off the visitors despite being down a man or two for nearly half the period. In total, the RedHawks were whistled seven times for 14 penalty minutes, while the Spartans finished with five penalties for 10 minutes.

“We got into penalty trouble in the second,” Blasi said. “They came back and made a push. We got a huge power play goal in the third. I thought we did a really good job in the third not giving them anything.”

MU scored twice in the final frame, starting with a power play goal with 10:58 to go. Kuraly banged home a rebound off a sophomore forward Cody Murphy shot in front of the net to make the score 3-1. The goal was the freshman forward’s fifth of the season and third on the man advantage. Miami’s captain, Spinell, picked up his other assist on the play.

The RedHawks sealed the victory with 24 second remaining, as Czarnik scored from center ice on a Michigan State empty net after Yanakeff was pulled for the extra attacker. The sophomore forward netted three goals against the Spartans on the weekend and now has 36 points (14 goals, 22 assists) on the season.

Yanakeff totaled 22 saves in relief as Miami outshot MSU, 35-19, the third straight night the RedHawks put more shots on target than the Spartans.

Miami improved to 3-2 all-time in decisive game threes of a CCHA Playoff series with Sunday’s win while the RedHawks have made it to the CCHA Semifinals all four times they have been a No. 1 seed.

Senior Curtis McKenzie, freshman Riley Barber, and sophomores Blake Coleman and Cody Murphy all scored goals for the RedHawks, who improved to 22-9-5 overall and finished 17-7-4-4 in the CCHA. The Buckeyes fell to 14-15-7 and ended 13-10-5-1 in the conference. Miami earned a weekend split with the win in its final CCHA regular-season game ever, avenging Friday’s 3-0 loss, while upping its record against OSU this year to 3-1-1.

“The regular-season championship is a difficult one to win because you have to be good consistently for six months,” MU head coach Enrico Blasi said. “If you’re fortunate enough to be in a position to win one it’s pretty amazing.”

Blasi continued, “As far as this team is concerned, I don’t think anyone would have picked them to do anything. For them to set themselves up at the beginning of the year to just go out and play and have fun for each other, I’m so proud in the way they’ve conducted themselves.”

Miami, which also won CCHA titles in 1992-93, 2005-06 and 2009-10, as well as a CCHA Tournament title in 2011, finished with 59 points in the standings. Notre Dame tallied 56 points, while Western Michigan had 54.

“That trophy’s forever ours now,” McKenzie said about winning the last CCHA regular-season title. “It’s a special, special win.”

Six Miami seniors were honored before Saturday night’s game: Marc Hagel, Joe Hartman, Garrett Kennedy, Steve Mason, McKenzie and Steven Spinell. Three of those seniors recorded points against Ohio State, including McKenzie, who opened the scoring on the power play with 9:20 left in the first period.

McKenzie corralled a saved Coleman shot that bounced just outside the crease and found the back of the net after several hacks. Barber also had an assist on the play. The goal was McKenzie’s ninth of the season.

Barber netted the second goal of the game on a 4-on-4 opportunity with 6:49 to go in the middle frame. The freshman forward, who leads the CCHA with 36 points (15 goals, 21 assists) after his two-point night Saturday, slipped past two Buckeye defenders and beat goalie Brady Hjelle with a wicked backhand. Spinell and sophomore forward Austin Czarnik, who recorded his 70th career point, tallied assists.

Miami took a commanding 3-0 lead with 12:46 remaining in the third period, as Coleman capitalized on a breakaway chance. The sophomore forward blocked an Ohio State player’s pass near the RedHawk blue line and took the puck the other way. Hjelle came out of net and poked the puck into the boards, but Coleman tracked it down and scored on the open net before Hjelle recovered. The goal was the Plano, Texas native’s eighth of the season while he joined Barber with two points on the night.

Murphy sealed the win with 4:10 left, as he took a pass from Hagel and raced down the far boards. The sophomore forward beat Hjelle stick-side, top-shelf with a hard wrister for his ninth goal of the season.

RedHawks’ freshman goaltender Ryan McKay did not allow a goal for the first 57 minutes and finished with 28 saves on 30 shots. Hjelle totaled 27 saves on 31 Miami shots.

Ohio State’s Craig Dalrymple got the visitors on the board with 2:13 to go on the power play and Alex Szczechura rounded out the scoring with 18 seconds remaining.

Miami was 1-for-3 with the man-advantage, while OSU went 1-for-6 on the power play. The ‘Hawks were whistled for 11 penalties for 36 minutes, both season highs. The Buckeyes were penalized eight times for 27 minutes, with several of both teams’ penalties coming in a late fracas on the ice.

With the win, MU improved its home record to 12-2-3 this year.

The RedHawks, which earned a first-round bye and home ice for the second round of the CCHA Tournament, begin postseason play by hosting a best-of-three second-round series against a team to be determined (depending on first-round results) on Friday, March 15 at Steve Cady Arena.
