The Notre Dame Fighting Irish hockey team held on to beat the Wisconsin Badgers in a decisive game three of the Big Ten Quarterfinals today, winning 4-2 after splitting the first two games of the series. Notre Dame now moves onto the semifinals where they will travel to Ann Arbor, MI for another best of three series, this time with the Michigan Wolverines.
First Period
Just past the midway point of the first period, Notre Dame manages to take a 1-0 lead on a superb goal from Jack Adams. Hunter Strand had the puck behind the net and dropped off a no look pass for Adams, who let a shot fly from below the left faceoff circle at nearly the goal line.
