After a tough weekend battle against the University of North Dakota, the University of Wisconsin women’s hockey team finishes their Western Collegiate Hockey Association homestead against Minnesota State University, Mankato this weekend in Madison.
While the Badgers (22-2-1-0, 17-2-1-0 WCHA) have traditionally had a superb record against the Mavericks (6-18-3, 3-15-2 WCHA), with UW’s last loss to Mankato happening all the way back in 2010. But much has changed since the last time these two opponents saw each other.
For starters, Wisconsin is potentially two defensemen down — both Mellissa Channell and Lauren Williams suffered injuries last weekend.
