The Wisconsin Women’s Hockey team has announced it will play its opening series of the season against Lindenwood at LaBahn Arena in Madison, rather than at Lindenwood.
The series is scheduled for the weekend of September 28-30, and was to be played in Wentzville, Missouri, but is being moved to Madison due to scheduling conflicts at Lindenwood.

It took the Dallas Cowboys trading down to the 31st pick for the first Wisconsin Badgers to come off the board.
The Cowboys with first selection in the first round after trading with San Francisco took Wisconsin offensive lineman, center Travis Fredrick.
Fredrick a Sharon, WI. native started 31 games at Wisconsin at both center and guard. During his freshman and sophomore years at UW, Fredrick primarily saw playing time at left guard. In his final season at Wisconsin, he started all 14 games at center and earned All-Big Ten honorable mention honors.
The selection of Fredrick was the first Big Ten player chosen this year. Had Fredrick not gone to the Cowboys late in the first round, it would have been the first time since 1953 a member of the Big Ten was not selected in the first round.
