Although the Wisconsin women’s hockey team is off this weekend, the Badgers are still making noise in the rankings, on award lists and on the international stage.
For starters, the Badgers (10-0-0 overall, 8-0 WCHA) are currently ranked No. 1 in the nation, taking the top spot from Minnesota after last weekend.
Along with that, two of Wisconsin’s own have received some high accolades this week.
American Sports Network named junior goalie Anne-Renée Desbiens the Women’s Hockey Player of the Week for her exemplary work in the last few weeks. Desbiens is the first person in the program’s history to earn that honor.
