The Wisconsin Badgers closed the 2023-24 regular season with a statement win over top-ranked Ohio State, scoring four unanswered goals to knock off the Buckeyes at LaBahn Arena. Now, the sights shift to the playoffs.
The No. 2 Badgers (29-5 overall, 23-5 WCHA) earned the two-seed in the WCHA tournament and will begin postseason play by hosting seventh-seeded St. Thomas (10-24-1 overall, 4-23-1 WCHA) in a quarterfinal series.
The Badgers swept the Tommies in the regular season, posting a 20-4 scoring advantage over four games.
The quarterfinal series takes place March 1-3 at LaBahn Arena, with the Badgers needing two wins to advance to next week’s 2024 Kwik Trip WCHA Final Faceoff at Ridder Arena in Minneapolis.
