Lacey Eden had a goal and an assist as the Badgers improved to 22-1-1, tied for their best record ever through 24 games.
American Hockey League (AHL) President and CEO D. Scott Howson announced Jan. 12 that the Board of Governors has unanimously approved the Rockford (Ill.) IceHogs as hosts of the 2026 AHL All-Star Classic presented by BMO.
Casey O'Brien and Cassie Hall scored twice as the Badgers extended their unbeaten streak to 10 games.
Laila Edwards scored four goals on four shots on goal as the Badgers rolled past the Tommies for a series sweep.
The Badgers scored on the power play for a fifth straight game, with Laila Edwards' 5-on-3 strike providing a two-goal lead against No. 11 St. Cloud State.
No. 11 St. Cloud State earned a tie at LaBahn Arena after the top-ranked Badgers didn't hold a second-intermission lead for the first time in 58 chances.
Kirsten Simms scored to extend the Badgers' unbeaten streak to 15 games and push them closer to the WCHA title.
The Badgers possess their second-best record through 30 games but program history makes winning the last game a requirement to be considered one of the best.
The Badgers tied their largest margin of victory against Minnesota and wrapped up the regular-season championship.
