Badgers coach Mark Johnson and forwards Casey O'Brien and Kelly Gorbatenko discuss a 6-2 win over Minnesota State on Saturday. The Badgers hockey teams tried not to let the final score be the takeaway from their experiences playing outdoors.

The Badgers will look to build on their current five-game win streak when Ohio State visits Madison, Wisconsin on Tuesday. UW will then travel West to play both USC (10-6) and UCLA (11-5), looking to rise in both the conference and national standings.

Wisconsin basketball continued its strong stretch of play with an 80-59 win over Minnesota on Friday. With the triumph, the Badgers improved to 13-3 and 3-2 in Big Ten play, marks that have each been greatly aided by the team’s current five-game winning streak (three over Big Ten opponents).

No University of Wisconsin women's hockey team has been better at this point of a season than the 2024-25 Badgers.

Kelly Gorbatenko, Lacey Eden and Casey O’Brien finished the weekend with two goals each as UW won twice despite the Mavericks goalie's best efforts.
