Lacey Eden put the Badgers on her back in a win over Ohio State, delivering a goal, two assists, a key short-handed block and an important backcheck.
The Badgers and the Buckeyes each won a game in their WCHA series at LaBahn Arena. Here's what it meant to national rankings voters.
Ohio State passed the Badgers for the top spot in the women's hockey NCAA Power Index after winning last Saturday's game but the spots reversed after Sunday's Wisconsin rebound.
Ohio State gained another first-place vote in the USCHO rankings but Wisconsin was at No. 1 for a 41st straight time.
