The No. 1 University of Wisconsin women’s hockey team takes off for Potsdam, New York this weekend to take on the Clarkson University Golden Knights.
This is one of the Badgers (3-0-1, 3-0-1 WCHA) three non-conference games this year, and the first time these two teams have ever played one another.
The unfamiliarity between the two teams will present a challenge, since neither has seen the other one’s style of play. This event will be one of the neutral matchups for the Badgers this year and should be an interesting early round challenge for them.
This is also a matchup between the Western Collegiate Hockey Association and the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference, or the two conferences that compete in the National Collegiate Athletic Association Frozen Four final.
