February 24: UW LaCrosse's cancellation left only one game for the UW Badgers club team this past weekend. Playing at the Madison Ice Arena, the Club defeated the Madison Lightning (a local women's team) 3 to 1 in non-conference action. The Badger Girls previously defeated the Lightning 7 to 0 in late October.
The Badgers take their 16-5-0 overall record (6-2-0 in the ACHA) into Rochester, MN where they will face the University of Minnesota.
The Badgers broke out to a 2 - 0 first period lead on goals from Roseann Meyer and Kelly Vruwink. Meyer opened the scoring on an intercepted neutral Zone pass. She took the puck wide and deep around the Lightning net then walked out and fired a low shot past the Lightning goalie. Vruwink picked up her 14th goal of the year on an assist from Tara Machak. There was a lot of two way hockey, however, they never had many scoring Opportunities. Melissa Wilking saw only 8 shots the entire night. UW Peppered the Lightning goalie with 38 shots. Jen Starbuck netted her ninth goal of the season on a no-angle shot while walking out from behind the net. The Lightning picked up a late third period on a Badger pass that hit the side of the net and popped out in front and was one-timed off the blocker of Wilking and into the net. "We were very solid in all zones. There goalie made a lot of tough saves and really kept them in the game. We played a much better game than what the score indicates"- uschan.
