The No. 2 Badgers (4-0-0) welcome No. 4 Minnesota-Duluth (2-1-1) to LaBahn Arena this weekend in an early-season showdown of two top-five teams.
Following their dominant showing on the road against Mercyhurst (0-4-0) last weekend, the Badgers open WCHA play against a Minnesota-Duluth team fresh off of its own impressive performance against in-state rival, No. 3 Minnesota. The Bulldogs earned two key points against the Gophers securing a 2–2 shootout/win on Saturday after falling 5–2 in the first matchup on Friday.
Junior Abby Roque and senior Mackenzie Steffen enter this weekend having taken home WCHA weekly honors after leading the Badgers to two convincing victories against Mercyhurst.
