MINNEAPOLIS — It was a feeling of bitter disappointment.
You know what they say: Revenge is a dish best served cold. Saturday afternoon, however, it was best served on ice.
Revenge is on the minds of Badger players and coaches this week after a disappointing loss against Minnesota last week in the WCHA finals. Wisconsin had beaten Minnesota in four straight games during the regular season this year, and it had won the last three WCHA tournaments before last week’s 3-1 loss ended the Badgers magical run in conference tournament play.
The No. 1 Wisconsin Badgers (29-3-2) take on the Bemidji State Beavers (16-18-3) Saturday afternoon in the WCHA Tournament semifinals. Bemidji State earned its birth in the semifinal game by beating Minnesota Duluth 3-0 last Sunday in the quarterfinals. The Badgers are the No. 1 overall seed in the tournament, earning a bye in tournament play last weekend. This is the third meeting of the season between these two teams; Wisconsin dominated the regular season series, winning three of the four games and outscoring Bemidji State 17-8.
Defense was the name of the game Saturday afternoon, as No. 1 Wisconsin faced off against No. 7 Minnesota in the final game of the WCHA regular season. With sold out LaBahn Arena rocking, the Badgers (20-2-2-2 WCHA, 28-3-2 overall) were able to pull out a gritty 1-0 win against the Gophers (16-7-32, 20-9-3) thanks to a first period goal by Maddie Rolfes that deflected off two Gopher defenders before finding the back of the net. Kristen Campbell recorded her NCAA leading 11th clean sheet on the year, but Campbell got a huge lift all night from her defense, which actually recorded more blocked shots,19, than Campbell had saves, 16. After the game, seniors Lauren Williams, Baylee Wellhausen and Claudia Kepler raised the WCHA regular season trophy for the third straight year.

No. 1 Wisconsin (26-1-1) travels to No. 6 Ohio State (17-7-4) this weekend in a matchup featuring two of the top teams in the country. The last time these two teams faced off was in early November, and the Badgers swept that series in convincing fashion, outscoring the Buckeyes 10-1 over the two games. Since that series, UW has continued to put up win after win, while OSU has basically been treading water, posting a 10-5-1 record. Two of those five losses came last weekend against unranked Minnesota Duluth, while the Badgers are coming off a weekend series sweep of St. Cloud State.

No. 1 Wisconsin (18-1-0) handled Minnesota Duluth (9-9-0) with ease Friday afternoon, beating up on the Bulldogs, winning 5-1. The Badgers played a slower game than usual, controlling the puck and keeping it on the Bulldogs’ side of the ice for much of the game.
The undefeated, No. 1-ranked Badgers (8-0-0 Big Ten, 14-0-0 overall) wrapped up another perfect weekend, defeating, and therefore sweeping, No. 4 Ohio State (5-2-1, 7-2-1) by a final score of 3-1.

The numbers didn’t lie last Saturday night when the Badgers rushed for 353 yards en route to a 38-17 win over the Nebraska Cornhuskers. At one point, UW rushed on 22 straight plays, which included a 10-play, 80-yard march down the field that finally put Nebraska to bed late in the fourth quarter. The passing game wasn’t too shabby either, but there wasn’t much pressure on quarterback Alex Hornibrook to make plays with his arm all night thanks to the rushing attack. The leader of that rushing attack, true freshman Jonathan Taylor, ran for an eye-popping 249 yards on 25 carries. He punched in two touchdowns as well, pacing the game for the Badgers all night long. There is no other player that made as large of an impact on the game as Taylor, and he was easily Wisconsin’s most valuable player against the Cornhuskers.
