The No. 4 Wisconsin Badgers came back down 2-0 to beat the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in a 4-2 victory on Friday night, taking home the first game of the series at the Kohl Center.
Wisconsin opened with some struggles, as they couldn’t convert some chances offensively, while two defensive lapses led to early goals for Notre Dame in the first period.
The Badgers were able to turn things around, however, in a two-minute stretch between the second and third periods, as they got scores from Christian Fitzgerald and David Silye within the final minute of the second before the latter poured another one in 1:10 into the third to give Wisconsin the lead.
