Wisconsin women's hockey: Badgers defeat Mercyhurst 6-0, advance to Frozen Four

Eleven different Badgers tallied points and goalie Ann-Renée Desbiens recorded her 21st shutout of the season.

MADISON -- With a decisive 6-0 victory over Mercyhurst in the NCAA quarterfinal Saturday night at LaBahn Arena, Wisconsin advances to the ninth Frozen Four in program history. The Badgers will face conference rival Minnesota for the sixth time this season.

The game, which sold out 24 hours after tickets went on sale early this week, was the Badgers' 12th sellout of the season. It was loud in LaBahn before the puck ever dropped, and junior Sarah Nurse said having that kind of support made a powerful difference for the team.
