ESPN will present all three games of the 2021 women\u2019s Frozen Four as part of its inaugural coverage of the NCAA tournament from the Erie Insurance Arena in Erie, Pa., beginning March 18.<\/p>\n

The network\u2019s coverage of the signature event will feature the second semifinal (March 18) and national championship (March 20) matchups on ESPNU in prime time at 7 and 7:30 p.m. ET, respectively. The first semifinal on March 18 at 2 p.m. on ESPN3, along with the two games on ESPNU, will all also be available on the ESPN app.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited ESPN will broadcast the 2021 NCAA Women\u2019s Ice Hockey Championship,\u201d said Anita Brenner, deputy director of athletics at Cornell and chair of the NCAA Women\u2019s Ice Hockey Committee, in a statement. \u201cESPN will provide the broadest access to the championship in its history, and we are honored to showcase these student-athletes, among the best players in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Frozen Four, in addition to culminating the 2021 season, also signals the beginning of a new, multi-year rights agreement for NCAA women\u2019s hockey coverage on ESPN.<\/p>\n

Dan Margulis, ESPN senior director, programming and acquisitions added, \u201cBeing able to feature the best of the best in ice hockey at the collegiate level is something we\u2019re really looking forward to with this new agreement. Working with our partners at the NCAA, it\u2019s great to be able to bring fans another signature, women\u2019s championship event on ESPN platforms for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

ESPN\u2019s commentator teams for all three matchups will be announced soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
