The University of Wisconsin men’s hockey team (14-18-5) saw their season come to an end Sunday after dropping the tie-breaking game three of their first-round series against the Penn State Nittany Lions (21-14-2).
The series started well for Head Coach Tony Granato’s Badgers Friday night when they got out to a 3–1 lead going into the third period behind two goals from Sean Dhooghe and one from Tarek Baker.
Freshman goalie Daniel Lebedeff couldn’t keep the explosive Penn State offense at bay all night, however, and Nittany Lions battled back to tie the game at three with time ticking away late in the third period.
