Another junior, Sarah Nurse, had a pair of short-handed goals in Wisconsin’s win.
The Badgers outshot St. Cloud State 45-to-ten to win in dominant fashion. Lauren Williams, Jenny Ryan and Rachel Jones scored Wisconsin’s other goals.

Badger Men Blanked
Number-four Boston College scored 12-seconds into their home game against the Wisconsin Badgers and went on to shutout the Badgers 6-0 last night.
Austin Cangelosi got the first of his two goals before the teams were even warmed up. Four minutes later, a short-handed goal made it 2-0. The Eagles scored three goals in the second period to put the game on ice.
It was the first loss for the Badgers after a pair of ties to open the season last weekend against Northern Michigan.
Freshman goaltender Matt Jurusik replaced Adam Miller in the second period and came up with 19 saves.
The Badgers close out the weekend with a game at Boston University tonight.
