The No. 1 ranked University of Wisconsin women’s hockey team (11-2-1-0, 11-2-1 WCHA) is coming off an undefeated Border Battle weekend against the second-ranked Minnesota Golden Gophers (9-7-1, 9-7-1) after winning the first game and tying the second.
The Badgers carried the momentum over to the following weekend, taking two games from the Bemidji State Beavers (2-12-2, 2-12-2, WCHA) in their last home series of the regular season.
This series was the first meeting between the two teams. The season has taken two separate turns for the squads with the Badgers sitting on top of the WCHA standings and the Beavers at the bottom of the conference.
