This weekend Wisconsin and Minnesota renewed their border battle. Excitingly, Ann-Reneé Desbiens was back in net for the Badgers after missing four games due to injury. Sarah Potomak was also back in Minnesota’s line up, which was a relief considering how badly she went down in last Sunday’s game. Unfortunately, the same could not be said of Alex Woken, who sustained a knee injury last weekend that will require surgery and will likely miss the rest of the season.
Saturday’s game was a fast paced battle of skill in front of a sold out crowd. Both teams attempted a lot of shots, but had most of their efforts blocked or otherwise nullified by the other side.
