Freshman's 4 goals lead Wisconsin women's hockey rout of Minnesota State

On October 17, Wisconsin women's hockey team, led by Canadian freshman forward Rosalie Tremblay, delivered a commanding 12-1 victory over Minnesota State at LaBahn Arena in Madison. The Badgers, ranked second, had suffered two losses to the currently No. 1 Ohio State.

Tremblay, along with her teammates Ava Murphy and Emma Venusio, who had missed a recent series while training with the Canadian national team, came to the rescue. Tremblay opened the scoring just 12 minutes and 4 seconds into the game, then added two more goals, including a rapid-fire sequence of three goals within two minutes towards the end of the third period.

The senior forward, Cassie Hall, contributed to the team's dominant performance when she scored midway through the second period, extending her goal-scoring streak to an impressive eight games. This led the UW to a 6-0 lead, a significant margin in the game.

The Mavericks, representing Minnesota State, put up a total of 62 shots on goal compared to the Badgers' 23. However, it was the Badgers' relentless attack that ultimately paid off, as they scored six goals in the final period.

Just before this match, UW had scored four goals in the third period of a 5-1 victory, where Slovakian freshman Nela Lopušanová helped add four points, including a goal and three assists.
