Zengerle is Mr. Consistency
Senior forward putting up points, just like he's
done his whole career with the Badgers
I
f it is possible to fly under
the radar and rank among
the highest-scoring players
at a hockey-storied school like
Wisconsin, then senior for-
ward Mark Zengerle is doing
that.
After setting up two goals
last Friday against Ohio State,
and scoring a goal on Saturday,
Zengerle recorded his 142nd
career point and his 112th
career assist. Those numbers
rank him 28th all-time at UW
in scoring and push him into
a tie for 11th in career assists
for the Badgers.
Setting up goals is what
Zengerle does best, and he is
set to cruise into the top-seven
among Badgers set-up men.
When all is said and done, he
could find himself ranking
among the top-five Badgers of
all-time. Zengerle's current as-
sist total is 15 more than any
other current collegiate skater.
He is known for his assists,
but Zengerle boasts some re-
markable individual accom-
plishments during his UW
time. One of four skaters in
school history to post at least
30 assists in their first two
seasons, Zengerle came within
one game of tying Mike Eaves
for the longest point-scoring
streak in school annals. This
season, Zengerle has risen to
the top of UW's scoring chart,
tying for the team lead with 24 points. He
has points in nine of the past 10 games,
13 of the past 15 contests, 14 of the last
18 tilts and in 17 of 22 games this sea-
son. If he ends up leading the team, that
would mark his second time doing so af-
ter leading the squad with 50 points as a
sophomore.
MINNESOTA SERIES THURSDAY-FRIDAY
● After a weekend at Michigan, the Bad-
gers return to the Kohl Center for a
Thursday-Friday series against Min-
nesota. Make special note of the days
of the week as tickets and parking
were produced before the dates of the
games were determined.
