 LAKE PLACID, N.Y. (AP) - Mark Johnson was involved in another championship at the Herb Brooks Arena on Sunday, but this one didn't involve any miracles. Johnson, who scored two goals in the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team's "Miracle on Ice" upset win over the Soviet Union, coached the University of Wisconsin women's team to its second consecutive national title with a 4-1 victory over Minnesota Duluth in the championship of the NCAA Women's Final Four.
Wisconsin (36-1-4), the top seed in the tournament, completed the season with a 26-game unbeaten streak and 12 consecutive victories. Its only loss was to Minnesota Duluth on Nov. 24.
"We are extremely excited to take the trophy back to Madtown," Johnson said, using the nickname for the university's home of Madison, Wis.
