Last night the No. 3 Alabama Frozen Tide overcame an early deficit to South Division #10 Liberty University to net a 5-3 victory in the ACHA Southern Regionals. Today's opponent today is the #8 Ole Miss Rebels who advanced in a minor upset of the #5 ranked University of Florida squad. Ole Miss has been a thorn in the Tide's side this season, with the two teams playing two overtime games, and the Rebels hosting a 2-1 advantage in the three meetings.
The other semifinal pool game features the #4 South Carolina Gamecocks versus the #7 Miami Hurricanes. At stake for both winners is a trip to the ACHA Nationals, which begins on March 11: full bracket and tourney info here, including auto-bids.
