to rival Minnesota UW looks to rebound against No. 6 UND
T
he Badgers suffered their first winless weekend since the 2009-10 season af- ter being handed a tie and a loss by then-No. 2 Minnesota last weekend.
There was a bright spot on
the weekend, as the Badgers won the shootout on Friday and enjoyed solid defense throughout the weekend.
Nonetheless, Wisconsin will look to get back into the win column this weekend with a trip to North Dakota. The task won't be easy, as UND has compiled a 9-2-0 record at home this season. The Badgers need to con- tinue their offensive domi- nance and contain UND's dangerous top forward line.
and 44 assists during the streak, which stands as the longest by any UW player, male or female. If history is any indication, even more could be expected from the ju- nior. Decker was held scoreless on Feb. 5, 2011 to end a 20-game point streak, but she picked up right where she left off in her next game, opening what became the 32-game streak.
Still the nation's best » Despite conceding four goals to Min- nesota on the weekend, goaltender Alex Rigsby made 79 saves and con- tinues to post the best save percent- age in the nation (.949). Her 562 saves this season also ranks third -best in the country.
