Going into this weekend’s series against the University of Minnesota Duluth (2-4 WCHA), the University of Wisconsin (8-0-0, 4-0-1 Big Ten) was expected to face a much higher level of competition than the previous teams they played.
But after Friday’s victory over the Bulldogs, 3–0, it looked like the Badgers hadn’t skipped a beat.
Wisconsin took the lead in the first period, thanks to a power-play goal from Makenna Webster — the Badgers never looked back after this. Maddi Wheeler scored her fourth goal of the season in the second period before Webster added her second power-play goal of the game with 25 seconds remaining.
