(1) Wisconsin at (11) St. Cloud State<\/b><\/p>\n
The two teams fought back and forth to start the game and it was Svenja Voight who opened the scoring to put St. Cloud up 1-0 midway through the first. It seemed like that might be all the scoring for the first frame, but two late penalties gave Wisconsin the opportunity they needed. Kirsten Simms scored on the first and Britta Curl set a new program record by scoring in her 10th consecutive game on the second to put the Badgers up 2-1 heading into intermission. Alice Sauriol tied the game 2-2 in the second, but Simms scored her second of the game less than a minute later to put UW up again. Ava Murphy hit a rocket late in the frame to make it 4-2 and that\u2019s how the game would end. The Huskies came out strong to start the second game, outshooting Wisconsin 15-8, but it was the Badgers who scored first when Laila Edwards lit the lamp to make it 1-0. Katie Kaufman got it back midway through the first with a power play goal to make it 1-1. Maddi Wheeler put UW ahead in the opening minutes of the second, but Sauriol\u2019s second of the weekend in the final seconds of the frame sent the teams to the second intermission tied 2-2. A quick lapse from St. Cloud late in the game proved to be the turning point as a too many skaters penalty turned into a power play goal from Casey O\u2019Brien with under four to play. SCSU pulled their goalie shortly thereafter in an attempt to find the tying goal, but Edwards scored an empty netter and then Sarah Wozniewicz got one of her own to give Wisconsin the 5-2 win and weekend sweep. The Badgers are now 12-0 to start the season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n (2) Ohio State at Bemidji State<\/b><\/p>\n The Buckeyes came out on fire on Friday night and put the game out of reach before two minutes had even elapsed.
