In a Border Battle between the top two teams in the country, the No. 1 Wisconsin Badgers women’s hockey team (9-2-1 overall, 9-2-1-1-1 WCHA) and the No. 2 Minnesota Golden Gophers (9-5-1 overall, 9-5-1-1 WCHA) played a bunch of extra hockey over the weekend as both games went into overtime.
Wisconsin came back from a two-goal deficit on Friday and clipped the Gophers in OT, 4-3, while on Saturday the Gophers returned the favor, clawing back from a two-goal deficit themselves and then earning the extra WCHA point by winning the shootout.
