Wisconsin SportsWisconsin's men's hockey team won the first game of its two game series with Minnesota State Friday 4-3 while the Mavericks beat the UW women 5-3. Both games were in Madison.
Minnesota State scored first, but it was all Wisconsin the rest of the way in a 4-3 WCHA victory Friday night. There was no scoring until a Maverick goal at 5:36 in the second period. Just over a minute later Michael Davies tied the score, then less than a minute after that Davies found the back of the net again. The Badgers scored a third time before the period ended on a goal from senior Blake Geoffrion. The captain wound up with four points on that goal and three assists. Aaron Bendickson made it 4-1 halfway through the third period, then Minnesota State started to come back. Two late goals weren't enough. Wisconsin's record is 17-7-4 now, including 12-6-3 in the WCHA.

The Badger record falls to 16-12-3, including 13-11-1 in conference play.
