defensemen and on the cusp of a 100-point career, but it's the ease with which he seems to do everything. Puck deep in the Badger zone? Schultz looks effort- less while moving the puck out of the defensive zone. It looks like opposing forwards bounce off the Hobey candi- date while he makes plays.
Navin scores » The two-goal, three-point weekend freshman forward Brad Navin pro- duced last week against No. 1 Min- nesota Duluth gave the Waupaca, Wis., native the first two goals of his career. It also gave the Badgers an offensive contribution from one of their young forwards. Such an impact from Wisconsin's youth is needed for the Badgers to take a step up when the second semester schedule begins in January.
The streak continues » Sophomore forward Mark Zenger- le is in elite Badger company af- ter extending his point-scoring streak to 17 games last weekend. His streak is tied with current UW women's hockey coach Mark John- son for the second-longest streak in school history and is four games shy of the 21-game UW record held by men's coach Mike Eaves.
