Wisconsin Women’s Hockey: Pankowski propels Badgers past Minnesota State

MADISON — A sold out crowd of 2,273 fans were treated to a 5-0 Badger win Friday night at LaBahn Arena.

Thirteen Badgers tallied points in a total team effort that was especially impressive considering they were without top line defenseman senior Mellissa Channell, who left the second game of the North Dakota series last weekend.

“It’s really exciting when it doesn’t matter who’s on the ice and we’re always a scoring threat,” said junior Annie Pankowski.

Channell and senior captain Jenny Ryan have been a defensive pair since their freshman season, so her absence caused a shake up among the defensive pairings.
