In the history of the University of Wisconsin women’s hockey program, the Badgers have never seen this amount of support.
Saturday night’s contest against No. 6 Harvard at the Kohl Center was an open call to area hockey fans across the state, and the Wisconsin faithful answered that call to the tune of 5,125 fans, the second-largest crowd in women’s college hockey history.
As it turns out, the Badgers needed every bit of that support they could get.
