Once again, the women’s ice hockey team is at the head of the national rankings. This year, they’ve amassed a 20-2-0 record. They have been No. 1 since Nov. 20, when they swept the then-No. 1 Wisconsin Badgers, and moved up one spot to the top.
Their last loss came on Dec. 1 to St. Cloud State. Since then, they have been absolutely dominant. On Jan. 12, they soundly defeated No. 2 Minnesota 7-0, then did it again the next day, 6-1.
During all of this, head coach Nadine Muzerall became the program’s winningest head coach in program history when she got her 179th win on Jan. 19.
This weekend, the Bucks will play its third top-10 opponent in as many weeks with a matchup against No. 9/10 St. Cloud State this weekend in St. Cloud, Minn. They will play at 4 p.m. Friday and 2 p.m. Saturday, with both games being streamed on BTN+.
