Badger women’s hockey team headed to Frozen Four

March 13, 2016 By Bill Scott

Bucky Badger logoFor the ninth time in 11 years, the Wisconsin women’s hockey team is heading to the NCAA Frozen Four as the No. 2 Badgers blanked Mercyhurst, 6-0, in the NCAA quarterfinals at a sold out LaBahn Arena in Madison.

Junior goaltender Ann-Renee Desbiens, a Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award top-three finalist, made 22 saves to earn her 21st shutout of the season, as Wisconsin (35-3-1) outshot the Lakers (19-11-5) 41-22 through the contest.  Desbiens continues to lead the nation in goals-against average (0.71) and save percentage (.962).

Saturday’s win marked the 25th-straight win for the Badgers, as UW ends its home slate a perfect 21-0-0.  Twelve of UW’s 21 home games were sellouts, a program record.

The Badgers got goals from Sam Cogan, Jenny Ryan, Sydney McKibbon, Emily Clark, Sarah Nurse and Baylee Wellhausen.

Wisconsin will meet Minnesota for the third-straight year in the NCAA Frozen Four semifinals, squaring off March 18 at 6 p.m. in Durham, New Hampshire.  It’s the sixth time this year the two teams have met with the Badgers holding a 3-2 advantage.
