Classic encounter between U.S., Canada for women's hockey world title has Wisconsin flavor

Hundreds of fans, some showing up hours early, turned out to LaBahn Arena to celebrate the Badgers' eighth NCAA title.

A Badgers team that set many records was close to falling short of its ultimate goal, but "they figured out how to get to the finish line."

The Badgers, trailing by a goal, needed someone to bury a penalty shot in the NCAA title game. Kirsten Simms put a new twist on an old move to score.

The Badgers were able to draw on lessons learned, coach Mark Johnson said, but who could have prepared them for this finish?

The NCAA championship overtime wasn't the same as the World Championship extra period. Players who skated in both weighed in on the differences.
