Penn State women’s hockey implodes in 3rd period, splits series after 9-1 blowout loss to Wisconsin

After No. 14 Penn State made history Thursday night, capturing its first win over a top five opponent, the following contest was a different story.

The Nittany Lions failed to recapture the magic they had the night prior and fell to No. 3 Wisconsin 9-1.

Despite the result, coach Jeff Kampersal said he was pleased with his team’s performance.

“I felt we were mentally prepared,” Kampersal said. “We knew that after yesterday, Wisconsin was going to come hard. So that first period was going to be difficult.”

The blue and white weathered an early attack from the Badgers as despite being outshot 13-7, the score remained deadlocked at zero.
