MINNEAPOLIS -- It was a heart-breaking end to the regular season for No. 2 Wisconsin as they fell to rival No. 3 Minnesota 4-3 in overtime. The Badgers had come back from a 3-1 defecit to tie the game with just over 15 minutes left in the third period, but couldn't keep the Gophers off the board one last time.
Minnesota's Kelly Pannek took advantage of a Badger turnover in the neutral zone and skated in on Badger goalie Ann-Renée Desbiens virtually unchecked. The game-winner was scored with just :54 seconds left in the overtime period. It was eerily similar, though with a different result, to the first time these teams met this season.
