The No. 2 ranked University of Wisconsin women’s hockey team will fight for the chance to go to the NCAA Frozen Four tournament this weekend — but their opponents are a team they have not met since 2012.
The Badgers (34-3-1, 24-3-1 WCHA) will take on Mercyhurst University (19-10-5, 14-3-3 CHA) Saturday at LaBahn, in the Badgers 12th sold out home contest of the season.
The Badgers have met Mercyhurst a total of three times in their NCAA playoff history, and have skated away with a victory every single time.
Last time out
The Badgers are coming off of a weekend full of highs, one of which happened to be defeating their rival, Minnesota, on the road.
