The Wisconsin Badgers women's ice hockey team is set to embark on a pivotal road trip to face first-place St. Cloud State in a key Western Collegiate Hockey Association matchup. The series comes as both programs continue their pursuit of conference positioning ahead of the NCAA tournament.
Wisconsin, a perennial national contender, will look to gain ground in the standings against the league-leading Huskies. The Badgers feature senior forward Kelly Gorbatenko, who wore number 7 during the team's appearance at the 2026 NCAA Women's Ice Hockey Championship held at Pegula Ice Arena in State College, Pennsylvania.
The road series represents a critical test for Wisconsin's championship aspirations, with each conference game carrying significant weight for NCAA tournament seeding and home-ice advantage in the postseason.
