Badgers look to get back on track in a conference showdown against Minnesota State
Wisconsin is hunting for their first WCHA win after stumbling out of the gate.
After two early-season losses, the No. 2 Wisconsin Badgers are preparing to face Minnesota State in a WCHA series at LaBahn Arena on Friday and Saturday. The Badgers, currently at 4-2 overall and 0-2 in the conference, lost two hard-fought games against Ohio State in Columbus last weekend. Senior scorer Cassie Hall led the NCAA in goals last season with seven, and she is poised to continue her impressive shooting form this year.
Veteran goaltender Ava McNaughton, now in her fourth year as a starter, showed great poise against the Buckeyes last weekend and is expected to continue her strong performance. Minnesota State (2-2, 0-2 WCHA) is coming off a three-game sweep by St. Cloud State and is making its first road trip of the season to Madison. The Badgers have a dominant 25-game winning streak against Minnesota State, last losing to the Mavericks on February 8, 2020, and extending that streak to 27 games would be a significant accomplishment for the team.
