The #5 Minnesota Gophers women’s hockey team will look to bounce back after an embarrassing loss last Saturday when rival and current #1 team in the nation the Wisconsin Badgers come to town. Minnesota took five of six points form the Badgers in Madison in November including giving Wisconsin their lone loss of the season, but the Gophers will need to find that form once again to try and battle back a Badger team hell bend on revenge.
Minnesota comes into the weekend after an embarrassing split with Minnesota State. The Gophers picked up an easy 7-2 win in Mankato on Friday, their 53rd consecutive in the series between the two schools.
