The Wisconsin women’s hockey team played spiritedly on Valentine’s Day, closing out their regular season home schedule with an 8-1 triumph on senior day.
Wisconsin head coach Mark Johnson believes emotion was the defining characteristic of the team during their season-long effort, which resulted in their fifth WCHA regular season title.
Eight seniors held spots on Wisconsin’s roster, the most the team had since 2005-06, giving the Badgers motivation and evoking the emotion needed to win.
