The No. 2 Wisconsin Badgers women’s hockey team looks to repeat as NCAA champions, and their quest begins with an NCAA quarterfinal against the No. 7 St. Lawrence Saints on Saturday afternoon at a sold-out LaBahn Arena.
St. Lawrence finished the regular season 28-10 and advanced to the quarterfinal with a 1-0 overtime win over Penn State. The Saints have fared well against ranked teams, going 16-9 to this point. Their only common opponent, Ohio State, swept St. Lawrence and outscored the Saints 16-1 over both games.
The Badgers (33-5 overall) earned an opening bye as one of the tournament’s top seeds.
