Last weekend did not go the way Wisconsin Men’s Hockey Coach Mike Eaves would have liked it to. The #19 Badgers went on the road to North Dakota and only managed one point falling back further in a tight WCHA race.
Wisconsin entered last weekend tied for 4th in the League at 21-points and were just 4-points out of 1st. After the weekend, they dropped to 6th in the conference and are 7-points behind leader St. Cloud State. After skating to 1-1 tie with the Fighting Sioux Friday, the Badgers dropped a 4-1 decision Saturday. Coach Mike Eaves on the way it ended:
