MADISON - All it took was a visit from Alabama-Huntsville to finally get the University of Wisconsin men’s hockey team on a winning streak.

The Badgers got goals from four different players Friday night to complete a sweep of the rare Thursday-Friday series with a 4-1 win at the Kohl Center in front of over 9,000 fans.

Derek Lee scored a goal and added an assist while Michael Mersch assisted on two goals. Joseph LaBate, Kevin Schultz and Brendan Woods scored the other Badger goals, while Joel Rumpel stopped 21 shots. Wisconsin outshot the visiting Chargers 30-22.

The Badgers have gone 3-0-3 in their last six games (UW is 4-7-5 overall) and will be off until Jan. 4-5 when they travel to Alaska-Anchorage.
