The Wisconsin women’s hockey team continues league play this weekend with two road games. The Badgers head to Ohio State for the two-game series before returning home to host Bemidji State for the much anticipated Culver’s Camp Randall Hockey Classic on Saturday, Feb. 6.
Before the Badgers head outdoors, UW looks to pick up some much needed league points sitting in a tie for third place with the Bemidji State Beavers. The Buckeyes sit three points behind the Badgers in fifth place. Game two of the series on Jan. 30 is the USCHO Game of the Week.

Wisconsin gave up two late goals to drop a 5-4 heartbreaker against Ohio State Friday night at the OSU Ice Rink. The 10th-ranked Badgers were outshot 48-31, marking only the second time this season UW was outshot in a game.
After gaining the 2-1 lead late in the first period, Wisconsin wouldn’t surrender the lead again until the final seconds of regulation when freshman Hokey Langan stuffed in the game-winner from the far edge of the goal crease with only nine seconds left in regulation.
After falling 5-4 to Ohio State in the last seconds of game one on Friday night, Wisconsin answered with a 3-2 win Saturday afternoon at the OSU Ice Rink to split the series with the Buckeyes. After Saturday’s victory, the Badgers now have sole possession of third place in the WCHA behind Minnesota and Minnesota Duluth.

The women's hockey game vs. Bemidji State on Sunday, February, 7 at 2pm will be designated as an "Allergy Friendly" game. For this event, a number of special accommodations will be put in place to allow families with food allergies to enjoy a Badger game.
According to the Food Allergy Association of Wisconsin, there are hundreds of kids and adults in the greater-Madison area who have difficulties attending sporting events due to the presence of allergens such as peanuts and tree nuts, says Sheree' Godwin, president of the group.
In consultation with the Food Allergy Association of Wisconsin, all concession stands at the Kohl Center will remove food items that could induce an allergic reaction including: -shelled and un-shelled peanuts, candy with nuts, caramel corn with nuts and ice cream with nut products. Products processed in facilities in which nut peanuts are also produced will not be sold in stands. Patrons can also view an ingredient list below for the concession stands' most popular food items. In addition, sections 117, 118 and 119 will receive an elevated level of cleaning to ensure a safer environment for affected patrons to sit in.
