In a battle between east coast and Midwest coast, the University of Wisconsin women’s hockey team set off to battle the Robert Morris University Colonials Saturday afternoon.
In the first NCAA playoff game of the season, it was clear RMU (24-5-6, 15-3-2 CHA) had some trouble adjusting to the Badgers’ (32-2-4-0, 22-2-4-0 WCHA) style of play. Though the Colonials created two power plays in the first period alone, Wisconsin still managed to dominate.
Defensively, the Colonials were not much better. The Badgers dominated for the vastmajority of the game, in some cases winning 2-on-1 or 3-on-1 battles against RMU.
