In a rather uncontested battle this afternoon, number one Wisconsin advanced to tomorrow nights WCHA Final Faceoff Championship game with a 3-0 win over North Dakota.
After a scoreless first period the Badgers broke through in the second as Carolyne Prevost continued her recent hot streak finding the back of the net at the 6:18 mark. Kelly Nash and Geena Prough picked up assists on the tally. The Badgers seemingly put the game away five minutes later when Brianna Decker scored shorthanded following a tripping call on Madison Packer. The Badgers would get their final tally of the stick of Mallory Deluce, with the Sioux's Alyssa Wiebe in the box for Roughing.
Alex Rigsby got the shutout for Wisconsin, adding to her already impressive season, making 19 stops today. Meanwhile Stephanie Ney played better today for the Sioux in net stopping 31 shots in the losing effort.
The Sioux will now go home with their season likely over and wait to see if an NCAA Tournament appearance is in the Cards while the Badgers will extend their stay in the Minne-apple and await the winner of the Gopher-Bulldog battle later on.
