The No. 15 University of Wisconsin men’s hockey team (5-5-0, 0-2-0 Big Ten) split their weekend series for the second time in three weekends against the No. 19 University of Nebraska-Omaha Mavericks (5-2-1, 0-0-0 NCHC) on the road at Baxter Arena.
Wisconsin started the weekend on a strong note with a win Friday following a disappointing weekend against No. 8 Penn State.
Wisconsin took the lead in the first period of Friday’s contest and never looked back, as they defeated the Mavericks 5–2. Junior Ty Pelton-Byce scored late in the period to make it 1–0, but Omaha tied the game at one apiece on a power-play goal in the second period.
