The Badgers were thoroughly outplayed in the first period of Game 2 against Duluth last week - that may be enough of an early-season wake-up call for them (they came back to win in overtime, 5-4).
#SACRED GAMES LAST EPISODE SERIES#
I’m going to be boring and go with a series split. Gabriella Fundaro: This is a nearly impossible one to predict. Webster is one of several highly skilled forwards for the Badgers, but she’s been an important piece so far in maintaining offensive depth even with key players gone with Team USA for the season. She currently leads the team in scoring with 21 points in eight games, and had a two-goal game against Minnesota Duluth in last week’s series opener. The Badgers’ sophomore is having an excellent start to the season. This weekend is gonna be a great weekend for hockey #Badgers || #OnWisconsin /CWTtoZVPaC- Wisconsin Hockey OctoWisconsin: Makenna Webster There’s no denying she has the skill to keep possession away from Wisconsin’s forwards. She’s been a strong two-way defender throughout her career but she’s asserted herself as perhaps the best in the entire conference. Jaques provides just that for the Buckeyes. Two offenses with heavy firepower on each side are clashing this weekend, which means that there’s arguably nothing more important than stellar defending to gain an edge. Players to Watch Ohio State: Sophie Jaques All of that sets up what’s sure to be an intense next chapter in this series. After splitting the regular season series, Wisconsin defeated Ohio State in overtime to win the WCHA championship and then knocked them off again, 4-2, at the Frozen Four. The Badgers had the last laugh back in the spring. They head to Madison this week with the nation’s number one ranking on the line defending that title is old news for the Badgers at this point, but earning it would be a first for the Buckeyes’ program, which should only stoke the flames between these two.Īlong with some exciting regular-season battles the last few years, these squads have also built up quite the rivalry with championships on the line in the postseason. CTīoth teams are undefeated coming into this matchup, which makes it all the more exciting. 2 matchup for this week’s NCAA Division I Game of the Week!
