MADISON -- The Badgers faced by far their toughest test of the season against Dartmouth Friday night. The close-fought game was incredibly physical and featured 13 penalties, but Wisconsin came out on top with a 4-1 win in Madison Friday night to extend their record to 15-0-0 on the season.
Dartmouth, currently sitting third in the ECAC, is Wisconsin's toughest non-conference opponent this season. With so few crossovers between the east coast teams and those in the WCHA, things like how teams fare against common opponents can play into figuring out post-season play.
Wisconsin peppered the net with 53 SOG and 99 shots attempted, but Dartmouth's junior goalie Robyn Chemago kept the Big Green in the game until the Badger broke the game open in the third period with freshman Sophia Shaver's goal.
