The #1 ranked Minnesota Golden Gophers women’s hockey team heads to Madison this weekend for the first iteration of the women’s Border Battle where they will face the #2 Wisconsin Badgers. Yes, Minnesota and Wisconsin are playing and it’s #1 vs #2 again. Shocker.
The Gophers became the #1 team in the country for the first time in early a full calendar year this week after sweeping a three game series against St. Cloud State last week. Minnesota got off to a bit of a slow start winning just 2-1 in the Thursday opener—the first game in nearly a full month for Minnesota, but found their stride quickly.
