Saturday afternoon Badger Ann-Renée Desbiens earned her 43rd career shutout, tying the NCAA career shutout record set by Noora Räty of the University of Minnesota. One more game and she’ll have the most NCAA career shutouts in ice hockey—as the men’s record, which was set by Ryan Miller of Michigan State, is only 26 shutouts. This achievement came due to Wisconsin’s 5-0 victory over Bemidji State and depending on how tomorrow’s game goes, she could make history.
The game’s outcome was all the more impressive considering the fact Bemidji was playing a depleted Wisconsin roster, as Annie Pankowski was gone due to national team commitments at 4 Nations and Sam Cogan was out with an injury.
