The seventh-ranked and Big Ten Conference regular-season champion Badgers remained unbeaten in their past 17 games at McClimon Field on Wednesday as senior Dani Rhodes broke a tie score in the first half en route to a 2-1 victory over Ohio State.
Rhodes' team-leading 11th goal of the season came unassisted in the opening 16 minutes. Junior teammate Cameron Murtha got the game's first goal at 9:30 before the Buckeyes tied it on Kayla Fischer's score at 9:51.
UW junior goalie Jordyn Bloomer, who has allowed just five goals in conference play, made two saves.
As the top seed in the conference tournament, UW (14-2-2, 10-0-1 Big Ten) will host No.
