A victory in the final game of the series would have been more rewarding, but the resilient Badgers could find plenty of good signs from the weekend.

(CBS DETROIT) — A Wisconsin woman was killed Friday night in a snowmobile crash in Schoolcraft County in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, Michigan State Police say. The crash happened on the Haywire Grade Trail near Thunder Lake Road in Inwood Township.

Taking five penalties compared to Wisconsin’s one, Michigan sealed its own fate, giving up two power play goals.

With one goal, Whitelaw left a bitter taste in Wisconsin’s mouth as they looked to retaliate — starting the puck battle for the night. Even with the early scoring start, the Badgers (11-12-2 overall, 6-9 Big Ten) pushed in the final minutes to win the scoring battle against the No. 10 Michigan (14-10-1, 8-7) hockey team, 5-4.

Republican lawmakers in battleground state Wisconsin want to change state law to allow candidates to remove their names from the ballot.

The Badgers will host one of their key events of the recruiting cycle Sunday when some of the top targets from the class of 2026 will be on campus.

Christian Fitzgerald's second goal of the game gave the Badgers the lead late as they rallied past the 10th-ranked Wolverines.

The Badgers, alone in fourth place, sit behind only Michigan (14-5, 6-2 Big Ten), Purdue (16-5, 8-2 Big Ten) and Michigan State (17-2, 8-0 Big Ten) in the Big Ten standings. They have road games remaining against those top two teams.

Wisconsin is set to benefit greatly from Ohio State ‘s run to the 2024 College Football Playoff championship game. First, Ohio State’s win followed Michigan ‘s 2023 title, giving the Big Ten consecutive national champions. That streak further establishes the conference as the top in the sport.

There were times Wednesday when open shots, point-blank, didn’t fall. There were times when the best decision might have been to pass out of a swarming defense rather than try to force a shot. Sometimes better shots will come when the Gophers women’s basketball team gets a stop at one end and can force the action at the other.
