Sunday Sports Briefs: UW women's hockey beats UMD

Wisconsin Badgers

Talk about it

MADISON - The University of Wisconsin women’s hockey team was 3-for-9 on the power play and that was enough. The Badgers made sure they will play again at LaBahn Arena’s home ice by beating Minnesota-Duluth Saturday 3-1.

The combination of that victory and Ohio State taking two losses this weekend means the Badgers can’t finish any lower than fourth place. Wisconsin’s record is 18-9-2 overall, including 14-9-2 in the WCHA. Madison Packer had a hand in all three Badger goals. She got an assist when Alev Kelter put UW on the scoreboard 11 minutes into the game, then made it 2-0 with her own goal at the seven-minute mark of the second period. And, Packer got her third goal to give Wisconsin an insurance score on a deflection in the third period. The difference came on power plays. The Badgers killed five and scored three times themselves. Wisconsin wraps up its regular season at home this afternoon at 4 p.m. at a sold-out LaBahn Arena. The game against UMD is senior day, with five seniors acknowledged during a pregame ceremony.

_______________________________________________________________________

According to the Sagarin Ratings, the University of Wisconsin men's basketball team has played the second-toughest schedule in the country and it doesn’t get any easier this afternoon. The Badgers host 13th-ranked Ohio State at the Kohl Center in a Big Ten Conference showdown with a noon-time tipoff. Wisconsin is 4-2 versus ranked teams in the Big Ten and the Badgers are the only team in the country with multiple wins over opponents ranked in the AP top 4. Both the Badgers and the Buckeyes bring 8-4 conference records into the contest. Wisconsin is ranked number-20 and carries an overall 17-8 record.
