If the Wisconsin Badgers women’s hockey team were getting a midterm grade to end 2024, they would receive an A+, likely breaking the curve for everybody else.
The No. 1 Badgers entered their break 19-1 overall (13-1 WCHA), their only blemish being a one-goal loss in Columbus to the second-ranked Buckeyes. Suffice it to say that Wisconsin has been absolutely dominant.
Aside from the top-ranked Badgers, the WCHA fills out the next three spots in the national rankings with Ohio State, Minnesota, and Minnesota Duluth. Wisconsin is 5-1 against those teams, and 9-1 overall against ranked opponents.
