The third line on a hockey team is sometimes the most critical, and is often the most overlooked. The first two lines are on the ice to score, while the fourth-liners are tasked with bringing energy and grit. Third-line forwards often have to play both roles, and the teams whose third lines do it best typically win.
Call it a letdown, call it a hangover. Whatever its name, the Wisconsin men’s hockey team (1-1-0 Big Ten, 6-3-0 overall) experienced it Saturday night against St. Lawrence (0-0-0 ECAC, 1-7-0 overall) in a 6-3 loss that left players and coaches grasping for answers.

Defending a top-10 ranking for the first time since the beginning of the 2014 season, the No. 10 Wisconsin men’s hockey team (1-1-0 Big Ten, 4-1-0 overall) took to the road for the first time in 2017 and rode a strong goaltending performance to a pair of victories over no. 13 Boston College and Merrimack.
In the past few years, the Wisconsin Nuttycombe Invitational has established itself as the most competitive regular season meet in collegiate cross country and this year’s edition — with 20 of 30 ranked teams in the men’s race and 16 of 30 on the women’s side — was no different.

When the Wisconsin men’s hockey team took the ice for its home season opener just over a year ago, it did so with numerous questions surrounding the program, including relying on a new head coach to rebuild a once-storied program that had fallen on hard times. That night’s 3-1 win over then-No. 6 Boston College didn’t single-handedly undo the damage from the two worst years in program history, but it delivered a message: The Badgers were on their way back.
Sometimes the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Despite the presence of record-setting running backs like Ron Dayne and Melvin Gordon, Wisconsin’s rushing attack has long been known more for its “plug-and-play” consistency than for the outstanding talents of any particular players. But after graduating tailbacks Corey Clement and Dare Ogunbowale, who accounted for almost three-quarters of the carries given to UW running backs last season, 2017 will test the Badgers ability to integrate new ball carriers into the offense.
In February 2015, Gov. Scott Walker proposed a revision of the Wisconsin Idea, the 110-year-old guiding principle of the UW System, that would have emphasized career preparation over academic pursuits.
Coming off a 28-24 season in 2016 and a second consecutive year without an NCAA tournament appearance, the outside expectations for Wisconsin’s softball team were moderate coming into the 2017 season. The Badgers didn’t appear on any pre-season watch lists or Top 25 rankings, but head coach Yvette Healy knew that senior catcher Chloe Miller and the rest of the team were capable of more than they had shown the year before.
