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.
