Eight is great. The Wisconsin Badgers women’s hockey team claimed its eighth national championship in program history on Sunday, notching its program-record 38th win of the 2024-25 season with a thrilling overtime win over the Ohio State Buckeyes.

Despite the record-setting season, an eighth championship was far from a guarantee for nearly 59 minutes of action.
