For a record seventh straight season, the Wisconsin Badgers women’s hockey team has made it to the Frozen Four.
In this year’s Frozen Four, the Badgers take on a familiar WCHA rival — Ohio State. The Buckeyes, entering the tournament with a first round victory against Boston College, are in their second ever Frozen Four.
These WCHA rivals have already met five times this year. They split the four regular season match-ups, followed by the Badgers winning the rubber match in the WCHA championship on a Lacey Eden overtime winner. Ohio State has handed Wisconsin two of their three losses this season and they have appeared to be the only team able to consistently contain the Badgers high-powered offense.
