Badgers open the weekend with a win after battling Minnesota State
The last series before the Badgers embark on a three-week layoff opened with a win as Wisconsin took down Minnesota State in a low-scoring affair. The Badgers never trailed, though they got all they could handle from the Mavericks.
The No. 1 Wisconsin Badgers (18-1 overall, 12-1 WCHA) were led by the usual suspect, with Laila Edwards, Caroline Harvey, Casey O’Brien, and Kirsten Simms popping up on the score sheet. Harvey got the scoring started late in the first with her team-leading fifth power-play goal. Simms and O’Brien chipped in with assists on the junior defender’s goal.
