Sophomore Brette Pettet and freshman Britta Curl each scored second-period goals and goalie Kristen Campbell made it hold up as the top-ranked University of Wisconsin women’s hockey team defeated host Minnesota State 2-1 on Friday night in Mankato.
Campbell, a junior, made 16 saves for the Badgers (10-1-0, 4-1-0-0 Western Collegiate Hockey Association), including six in the third period when the Mavericks (4-4-1, 2-4-1-1) scored midway through.
The victory was UW’s 22nd in a row over the Mavericks. The teams wrap up their series at 2 p.m. Saturday.
Junior Mekenzie Steffen assisted on both UW goals.
