Wisconsin Hockey Ranked #1 (Women), #13 (Men) At Break

The University of Wisconsin women’s hockey team is ranked number-one in the Division I poll for an 11th week in a row. The Badgers blanked St. Cloud State twice last weekend — good enough to earn them unanimous support for the top position as team’s enter the four-week, mid-season break.  Wisconsin’s next action is January 13th and 14th at home against Minnesota State-Mankato.  A pair of losses to Notre Dame knocked the Wisconsin men’s team down to 13th in this week’s poll.  The Fighting Irish moved up to number-three — the top ranking for a Big Ten team.  Ohio State is ninth, Minnesota 10th and Penn State 15th.  When action resumes after the break, the Badgers will travel to Penn State for a weekend series starting January 5th.
