Roughly one-quarter of the Wisconsin women’s hockey season is in the books.
While the Badgers have been perfect and ranked No. 1, they haven’t been great. They’ve swept four mediocre-at-best teams: Lindenwood, Mercyhurst, Syracuse, and Minnesota State. They are leading the WCHA in scoring defense and have a lovely 28–7 goal differential.
Certainly, the Badgers have taken care of business during the weakest part of their schedule. With them ranked No. 1 in the country and Minnesota flailing, one might think this regular season would be a formality. However, with Ohio State surging and Wisconsin’s youth, we are in for an entertaining season.
