After suffering a loss in their opening game of last week’s series against Bemidji State, the University of Wisconsin women’s hockey team (26-4- 4, 16-4-0 WCHA) jumped at the opportunity for a fresh start against Minnesota State (9-15-5, 3-14-3) at LaBahn Arena.
The Badgers lit up the Mavericks with a flurry of early goals in Saturday’s game, scoring their first two within just seven minutes of the opening puck drop.
And the Badgers would continue to build on this lead, beating Minnesota State 7-2 in their first matchup of the weekend. After the final buzzer, each Wisconsin goal was credited to different player.
