This weekend, the No. 2 University of Wisconsin women’s hockey team (26-4-0, 16-4 WCHA) will take on the Minnesota Duluth Bulldogs (13-13-2, 9-9-2) in what will be their second matchup this season and the Badgers’ final regular season road trip. The Badgers swept the Bulldogs at LaBahn Arena Oct. 13-14.
Wisconsin is coming off of a successful weekend hosting the Minnesota State Mavericks, where they were able to decisively win both games. Two Badgers were named WCHA players of the week by virtue of their performances: Britta Curl, who was awarded WCHA Forward of the Week after scoring twice last weekend and putting up two assists, and Sophie Shirley, who earned WCHA Rookie of the Week thanks to her three goals.
