Penn State battled back from an early deficit but was unable to hold on late in the game. Wisconsin refused to quit, matching each Lion goal with one of their own, until finally pulling away.
It was a chance for a series win on the road that would have been nice in the early-going in conference play.
Penn State will host Notre Dame next weekend in the final full series before the December break.
How It Happened
Wisconsin came out firing shots on net, making Peyton Jones stop a few before one got past for an early 1-0 Badger lead.
