Wisconsin’s 2018–19 season opened up against Lindenwood in LaBahn Arena this past weekend. The fans in attendance were treated to a dumbfounding mistake, a head-scratching win, and a classic Wisconsin thrashing.
Game 1: Wisconsin 3, Lindenwood 2
It was a concerning start to the season for Bucky. Per usual, they dominated shots on goal, this time to a whopping 46–8 advantage.
However, Wisconsin seemed out of sync just enough to miss the mark on several golden scoring opportunities, allowing the Lions to hang into the game.
Midway through the first period, Lindenwood found themselves on a 2–1 breakaway and Hannah Alt beat Badger goalie Kristen Campbell blocker-side to give Lindenwood a 1–0 lead.
