Badgers Bite Back, Splitting Border Battle with Minnesota

After their first loss in LaBahn in years, the Badgers were on the attack from the moment the puck dropped in front of a sold out crowd. Sydney Scobee and the defense in front of her were quickly tested, especially when Catie Skaja wound up in the box on high sticking charges just 1:08 into the period. The Gophers persevered, killed the penalty, and got some offense going, though it was mostly wide shots. In fact, both teams had a very large number of blocked or wide shots. Eventually Sophie Shirley found the back of the net at 15:43 for Wisconsin.
