Wisconsin Badgers

Talk about it

MADISON - The University of Wisconsin women’s hockey team was a winner on the ice and at the turnstile Saturday. Playing before an NCAA-record crowd of 12,402 fans at the Kohl Center, the Badgers blanked Bemidji State 1-0.

A third period goal by Hilary Knight sent everybody home happy on “Fill the Bowl” night. Goalie Alex Rigsby recorded her sixth shutout of the season as the Badger record advanced to 24-2-2. The weekend sweep gives UW a 18-2-2-1 WCHA mark. Wisconsin hosts Minnesota State next Friday and Sunday afternoons.

A 4-2 win over the Wisconsin Badgers gave North Dakota a weekend sweep of the WCHA action in Grand Forks. North Dakota outshot the Badgers men 41-22 while dominating the action. Keegan Meuer tied the score at 1-1 for Wisconsin in the first period, then John Ramage tied it against at 10:33 of the second. That was all the scoring for Wisconsin which fell back to the .500 mark at 12-12-2, including 7-11-2 in conference play. Wisconsin goalie Joel Rumpel was barraged by the Fighting Sioux, stopping 37 shots.

University of Wisconsin quarterback Russell Wilson completed 4-of-7 passes at the Senior Bowl Saturday. His efforts were good for one touchdown and one interception as the North won 23-13. He was joined on the team by fullback Bradie Ewing, guard Kevin Zeitler, punter Brad Nortman and safety Kyle Wojta. Wide receiver Nick Toon was supposed to play, but had to step aside due to a minor injury.

Green Bay’s record is now 9-12, including 5-6 in the Horizon League.
