The No. 2 Wisconsin Badgers picked up right where they left off against the No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes. The Badgers dominated the Buckeyes en route to a 6-3 win in the 2024 Kwik Trip WCHA Final Faceoff championship game, which was even more lopsided than the score indicates.
Following an emotional overtime win against Minnesota in the semifinal, Wisconsin stood pat in the opening minutes, content to get their legs under them and feel out the Buckeyes. Then the floodgates opened.
Sophomore Kirsten Simms, WCHA Player of the Year, opened the scoring with a backhand reminiscent of her opening goal the day before against the Gophers.
