Despite some late-season slip-ups, the No. 1 University of Wisconsin women’s hockey team lived up to their lofty expectations and clinched their third-straight Western Collegiate Hockey Association Regular Season Title last weekend.
The clinching win came against University of Minnesota-Duluth in a 5-0 performance, a fitting cap for the dominant Badgers season. After clinching the division, there were still two more games to play. For the regular season victory lap, the No. 7 University of Minnesota Gophers paid LaBahn Arena a visit for a two-game set.
In the first game of the weekend, the Badgers fell behind early in an uncharacteristically lethargic first period.
