20 // VARSITY April 17, 2014 BY THE NUMBERS 41 260 7,860 3 ACADEMICS During the annual Bucking- hams awards show Monday, some 260 UW student- athletes were honored with the "3.5 Award" for achiev- ing a grade-point average of at least 3.5. That includes three Badgers who boast a cumulative GPA of 4.0 ― Nicholas Caldwell (men's swimming), Kimberly Dinh (women's golf ) and Taylor Zimprich (women's track and cross country). MEN'S HOCKEY Former Badger and current San Jose Sharks forward Joe Pavelski scored two goals in the final regular-season game of the 2013-14 NHL season, giving him 41 goals and making him the second Badger in history to produce a 40-goal season in the NHL. Only UW alum Dany Heatley, who had two 50-goal seasons and two 41-goal seasons, had previously acheived the mark. MEN'S TRACK Junior Zach Ziemek finished third at the Bulldog Decath- lon last weekend with a score of 7,860 points. The total demolished his previ- ous record by 220 points and ranks third on UW's all-time list, behind only Joe Detmer (7,963) and James Dunkleberger (7,924). SOFTBALL Senior Michelle Mueller hit back-to-back-to-back jacks in the Badgers' 10-3 win against Illinois on Satur- day. Her three consecutive home runs are tied for the second-most in NCAA his- tory, and the three homers also tied the single-game school record.
