Saturday State Sports Briefs: UW Hockey teams both winners

Wisconsin Sports
-- Both the University of Wisconsin men's and women's hockey teams were winners in action last evening.

ANCHORAGE, Alas. - The University of Wisconsin men’s hockey team held off a late rally by Alaska-Anchorage to win 5-3 and run their unbeaten string to seven games in a row.

Goals by John Ramage and Joseph LaBate gave the Badgers a two-goal lead after the first period. Then, early in the third period, goals by Michael Mersch and Tyler Barnes made it 4-1. Goals just 75 seconds apart cut the lead to one, 4-3, but Mark Zengerle iced it with a goal in the final minute. Wisconsin’s record is 5-7-5, including 3-5-5 in the WCHA. Landon Peterson made 26 saves to pick up the win in goal. Wisconsin looks for the sweep tonight in a game starting at 10 p.m. Central time.

________________________________________________________________

The University of Wisconsin women’s hockey team started the second half of the season with a 4-0 shutout of the Minnesota Whitecaps in an exhibition game at LaBahn Arena in Madison. A three-goal explosion in the second period put the game out of reach for the Badgers. Karley Sylvester had scored Wisconsin’s first goal, then Courtney Burke, Rachel Jones and Katy Josephs all scored in the second period. Jorie Walters stopped 18 shots in goal. The Badgers are off tonight, playing again next weekend in a two-game home series at LaBahn Arena starting Friday night.

University of Wisconsin football center Travis Fredrick says he’ll give up his final year of eligibility, and join the NFL Draft in April. In a letter to fans on www.uwbadgers.com Fredrick said he’ll graduate this spring from Madison with a degree in computer engineering. And while he did not complain about the various coaching changes the Badgers recently made, he had high praise for coaches who have either gone out the door or appear to be leaving. He singled out Bart Miller, who became the Badgers’ offensive line coach in Week-Three this season after Mike Markuson was fired. Fredrick said that without Miller quote, “I would not have had the great opportunity that I am faced with today.” There was speculation that Miller would stay on as the Badgers’ tight ends coach – but media reports say it probably won’t happen. Fredrick also praised his teammates and fans.

Heavy rain washed out first-round action at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions. Wisconsin golfers Steve Stricker and Mark Wilson are in the field at Kapalua, Hawaii. Stricker won the tournament last year.

The Marquette men's basketball team hope to go 2-0 in the Big East when they host Georgetown tomorrow. And both UW-Milwaukee and UW-Green Bay hope to get their first true road wins of the season. Milwaukee plays at Wright State tomorrow, while Green Bay is at Detroit. The Green Bay women will play Saint Bonaventure at home, and the Marquette women will host Syracuse. Most smaller schools have conference games on Saturday. UW-Madison's men's team play at Nebraska tomorrow afternoon while the host Minnesota.

Nick Vorberg of the Milwaukee Wave has been named the Major Indoor Soccer League’s goal-keeper of the month for December. Vorberg averaged 16-and-a-half saves while giving up just seven points per game, as Milwaukee went 4-0 last month. He saved 30-of-31 shots in a December 14th win over Chicago. Milwaukee is in second place in the league at 8-2, a game behind front-running Baltimore. The Wave’s next game is tomorrow night at home against Syracuse.
