The Wisconsin women’s hockey team, off to its best start in program history, has been rewarded with the top ranking in the USCHO.com Division 1 Women’s Poll on Monday.
The Badgers, who are 10-0-0 for the first time in school history, received eight first-place votes and 143 points to move up from No. 3 in last week’s ranks. Boston College, also 10-0-0, took home seven first-place votes and 139 points to remain at No. 2 while Minnesota dropped to No. 3 after falling to North Dakota last Friday.
Wisconsin is currently on an eight-game shutout streak and hasn’t allowed a goal in the last 521 minutes, 15 seconds of game action.
The Badgers are also on top of the WCHA standings with 24 points through eight league games.
Wisconsin has this weekend off but returns to action on Nov. 13-14 with a road series at Minnesota-Duluth.
