Minot State University (25-6-2) defeated Iowa State University (20-12-3) 3-1 in the 2019 ACHA Men’s Division-I National Championship Game to secure its second ever national title. Captain Blake Fournier, the tournament’s Most Valuable Player, led the Beavers to victory with two goals and an assist and a +5 rating in four games played, while defenseman Kyle Lipinski chipped in three goals and goaltender Joshua Bykowski notched three wins, allowing two goals against with a sensational 97.1 save percentage.

Despite the loss, No. 2 Iowa State posted its highest finish since losing in the 2016 National Championship Game. Lindenwood University (31-2-0), the No. 1 team for 14 consecutive weeks, was unable to score against a stingy Minot State defense in the semi-finals to finish the season at No. 3, while University of Michigan-Dearborn (22-1-2), which lost a heartbreaker in double overtime to Iowa State in the other semi-final, took the No. 4 spot.

A total of 60 teams are competing in Men’s Division-I this season, including two new teams: the University of Toledo and William Paterson University.
