The #1 ranked Minnesota Gophers women’s hockey team closes out their tough November WCHA stretch this weekend with a series against their arch rival and #3 ranked Wisconsin Badgers. Both teams will be rested as the Gophers were off last weekend and the Badgers have not played since October 29th in Duluth. First place in the WCHA is on the line as Minnesota enters the weekend four points back of Ohio State for the top spot in the conference.
Wisconsin has both lost a ton of talent and reloaded from a season ago.
