For the first time in a month, the University of Wisconsin women’s hockey team will be skating on their home ice against the Bemidji State University Beavers.
The Badgers (9-0-1, 7-0-1 WCHA) have spent more than half the month of October on the road, with challenging matchups in almost every game. Even though this weekend’s battle is not expected to be quite as tough as others, Wisconsin will finally get the support of their home crowd.
Bemidji State (4-5-1, 2-5-1 WCHA) might not boast a fantastic record this season, but that doesn’t mean the Beavers won’t pose a threat to the Badger defense anchored by goaltender Ann-Renée Desbiens.
