A knack for finding the
back of the net Decker surpasses Duggan's point streak
O
f Wisconsin's last 57 games, Brianna Decker has failed to record a point in just three.
The junior forward ex-
tended her point streak to 27 games against St. Cloud State, surpassing the then-record 25-game streak recorded last season by Patty Kazmaier honoree Meghan Duggan.

Decker currently leads the Badgers — and is second in the nation — with 38 points, having scored 18 goals and recorded 20 assists so far this season. Decker has recorded mul-
tiple points in 13 of the Bad- gers' 16 games and also has three hat tricks on season, doubling her career total.
Record watch » Brooke Ammerman has the poten- tial to become the third Badger in program history to record 100 ca- reer goals and the fifth Badger to reach 100 career assists. She cur- rently needs 23 goals and six as- sists to reach those plateaus.
Series domination » Of its seven WCHA opponents, Wisconsin owns the best record against Minnesota State, having gone 47-1-2 against the Mavericks since the 1999-2000 season. The lone win for MSU came in
the 2009-10 season while head coach Mark Johnson, Hilary Knight and Meghan Duggan were away with Team USA for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games. Last sea- son, the Badgers outscored the Mavericks by a total of 22-4 in the four games played.
