Last Minute Goal Lifts Wisconsin to Frozen Four Championship

Friday was the night of the Frozen Four semifinals at the Family Arena in Charles, Missouri and the first game of the night was Wisconsin v Boston College. Sophia Shaver made the first shot of the game, which BC goaltender Katie Burt blocked at 1:37. Then Eagle Kristyn Capizzano flew down the right side to fire on goal, which was immediately followed up with Haley McLean putting on two shots—all of which Ann-Reneé Desbiens stopped cold. BC spent the first half of the period firing on goal with little Badger push back, which left lunging to makes saves. Of course, Jenny Ryan taking a slashing penalty for downing Capizzano at 7:20 didn’t help matters, but Wisconsin eventually killed the penalty.
