After being swept at home last week by No. 9 Penn State, Wisconsin (16-10-1 overall, 9-4-0-0 Big Ten) looked to bounce back Friday against a Michigan squad that has only managed two Big Ten regulation wins all season.
The No. 20 Badgers did just that, beating the Wolverines 5-2 at the Kohl Center.
Freshman Trent Frederic got the scoring started, poaching a rebound for a wide-open tap-in from just outside the crease at 10:53 in the first.

Wisconsin’s seventh-ranked penalty kill gave up a rare power-play goal when Michigan’s Cooper Marody tied the game less than a minute into the second period.
