The second-ranked Wisconsin women’s hockey team scored six goals in the third period to crush Minnesota State 8-1 to win their fifth WCHA regular-season title and first since 2012.
Courtney Burke scored a first period goal and added four assists for the Badgers, becoming the third Badger forward to reach 100 points in her career.
Wisconsin (30-1-1, 24-1-1-1) goaltender Ann-Renee Desbiens stopped 10 shots to earn her NCAA-leading 28th win of the year.
The Badgers close out the regular season with a two-game series at Minnesota this weekend against the Gophers.
