The University of Wisconsin women’s hockey team (6-0-0, 2-0-0 WCHA) left Madison for their first WCHA series of the season against surely their most formidable opponent yet, The Ohio State University Buckeyes (4-2-0, 2-2-0 WCHA).
The Badgers opened up the series Friday night with their fourth shutout victory of the young season behind the strength of two power-play goals and senior goalie Kristen Campbell’s 17 saves.
After a scoreless first period between the two teams, senior Abby Roque opened up the scoring with a power-play goal at the 7:09 mark of the second period, which stood as the lone goal of the contest until the Buckeyes pulled their goalie with just under two minutes remaining in regulation.
