Lady Badgers Heading Back to the Frozen Four

That's right the Badger women's hockey team is back, but after an early deficit it may have looked as if they would be done.

Saturday night against Minnesota-Duluth the Lady Badgers found themselves in a 1-0 hole heading into the first break. After a goal late in the first period by Jessica Wong with just seconds left on the clock.

Just three minutes into the second period the Lady Badgers would erase that lead for good with a goal by junior Hilary Knight on a power play. A penalty that only lasted a whopping eight seconds.

The game would remain tied heading into the second and final intermission, and the Lady Badgers would once again strike in the third period.

This time with a goal by Meghan Duggan of an assist by Knight to give the Badgers a 2-1 lead mid-way through the final stanza. The goal would also be the eventual game winner, and Duggan's sixth game winning goal of the season.

The 2-1 victory would cement the Lady Badgers fifth trip to the Frozen Four, and their first since 2009. Now the Badgers will meet Boston College in the next step towards their fourth national title on Friday afternoon at 4 P.M.
