Last weekend, the University of Wisconsin Badgers (30-4-2, 18-4-2 WCHA) took on St. Cloud State (10-25-2, 5-19) in the first round of the WCHA playoffs.

In the first game Friday, the Badgers jumped out to a quick lead with goals from Emily Clark and Britta Curl, making the score 2–0 after the first period.
