The No. 2 University of Wisconsin women’s hockey team (24-4, 14-4 WCHA) returns home to LaBahn Arena for a weekend slate against the Minnesota State Mavericks (9-13-5, 3-12-3).
After holding onto their No. 1 ranking since mid-October, the Badgers failed to retain their spot after their split against Bemidji State last weekend, losing 2–1 last Friday and winning 4–0 Saturday. Border Battle rival Minnesota claimed the top spot in the USCHO.com Division I women’s poll Monday.
Wisconsin forwards Sam Cogan and Abby Roque enter the weekend with 99 career points apiece and will look to join an exclusive 100-point career mark that only 24 Badgers in program history have joined.
