Wisconsin women’s hockey entered this season with seven national championships, the most of any Division I hockey team. Despite the Wisconsin Badgers legacy, nothing is guaranteed any season. This season ended the same as last, though: with Ohio State and Wisconsin in a 1-0 national championship game. However, the result was not exactly the same.
Badgers and Buckeyes Blanked in First Period
The country’s two highest-scoring offenses were kept off the scoreboard through the first 20 minutes. After an evenly-matched first period, Ohio State held the advantage in shots on goal 8-7. Both teams played hard defensively, blocking six shots.
