MADISON, Wis. — Alex Rigsby had a highlight-reel save among her 23 stops in her 100th collegiate victory, leading Wisconsin back to the women’s Frozen Four with a 2-1 win over Harvard on Saturday.
Blayre Turnbull had a goal and an assist, and Katy Josephs also scored for the Badgers, who earned their seventh Frozen Four trip.
In the third period, Rigsby denied a Harvard shot at an open net by lunging with her stick, which caught the puck in mid air.
