The No. 6 Wisconsin Badgers continued to build off their momentum in a 6-5 overtime thriller against the No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes, increasing their winning streak to four games if including a shootout win against the No. 3 Minnesota Golden Gophers last weekend.
Similar to the men’s ice hockey team, the Badgers got out to a really good start, scoring four goals in the first period, as Casey O’Brien, Britta Curl, and Jesse Compher each found paydirt, with the latter finding the net twice to give Wisconsin a 4-0 lead early on.
However, Ohio State roared back, scoring two goals in the second period from Jennifer Gardiner and Emma Maltais, while Brooke Bink opened up the scoring with a goal for the Buckeyes in the third period, cutting the lead to 4-3 in favor of Wisconsin at the time.
