Wisconsin women's hockey: Badgers tame Minnesota-Duluth, advance to WCHA tournament final

MINNEAPOLIS -- The season marches on for the Wisconsin women's hockey team as its win Saturday afternoon ensured the Badgers live to play another day.

Coach Mark Johnson has always liked to say his team plays one game at a time. That's never more true than in the postseason, where the next game is never guaranteed.

The Badgers secured their berth in the WCHA Final Faceoff championship game with a 5-0 win over Minnesota-Duluth. The Badgers controlled the game, but it was a four-goal second period that sealed the win.

Sophomore Annie Pankowski admitted that the team was a little tight to start the game.
