Wisconsin raises another women's hockey banner with a glimpse of future
The Wisconsin Badgers women's hockey team celebrated its latest title with a banner ceremony and then a 7-0 win over Boston University.
Madison – The Wisconsin women's hockey team celebrated their second straight championship with a 7-0 victory over Boston University in their home opener at LaBahn Arena. After a sluggish first period, the Badgers surged with six goals in the second period to secure their seventh title in nine years. Coach Mark Johnson acknowledged the team's strong showing, but noted there were still areas to improve upon as a younger roster continues to develop.
Nela Lopušanová, a freshman left wing from Slovakia, was the star of the night with two goals and an assist in the second period. Rosalie Tremblay, a Canadian freshman center, added two goals and two assists. While LaBahn had a sparse crowd, the Badgers' newcomers appreciated the overwhelming support. Veteran players Maggie Scannell and Hannah Halverson also contributed significantly with three points each.
Sophomore goaltender Ava McNaughton, an Olympic gold medalist and two-time All-American, returned to the net after a brief injury absence and made 22 saves. The Badgers will face Boston University again on October 2.
