Go #Badgers

FINAL

6-0 win for the #Badgers, a season-opening sweep, and a first-career shutout for sophomore goaltender Rhyah Stewart!

Stewart stopped all 26 shots she faced this weekend after stepping in on Friday to relieve an injured Ava McNaughton.

Now it's Kelly Gorbatenko scoring a power-play goal on a rebound and Wisconsin is well on its way to a season-opening sweep of St. Lawrence.

A 4-0 lead for the #Badgers with 7:33 to play in the 2nd period.

Ahead of the #Badgers series-finale at Saint Lawrence, UW's posted lineup has goaltender Ava McNaughton OUT.

The Olympian and starting goaltender in Wisconsin's last three title game appearances exited the season-opener yesterday with an apparent lower-body injury.

In traditional folklore, the October full moon is known as the Badger Moon. Badgers use this bright moonlight to forage, cut dry grass or bracken with their teeth, and turn over their bedding bundles outside their dens to dry them before winter.

FINAL

#Badgers 6 - Saints 2

It took six unanswered goals after falling behind, but Wisconsin delivered in its season-opener that featured 11 players making their debut for UW.

After Ava McNaughton exited the 2nd period with an apparent lower-body injury, Rhyah Stewart stopped all 11 shots faced.

Charlotte Pieckenhagen tips in the initial shot by Maddy Kimbrel and it's 5-2 Wisconsin.

Big day for the #Badgers' rookies and sophomores. They account for seven of the 12 points tallied by UW's skaters. Not to mention Stewart stepping into net in relief.

Pieckenhagen has a career-high 3 points.

18 seconds after UW's PPG, SLU went back on the PK. It killed that, but then five seconds later the Saints got caught with skaters on the ice.

Wisconsin will have 1:50 of PP time to open the third and an early opportunity to break this one wide open.

#Badgers lead 4-2 after scoring 3 in the 2nd.

St. Lawrence's Brooke Mulvihill gets whistled for body-checking Hannah Halverson, so we get our first look at the #Badgers' power play this season.

As UW was transitioning from its second unit to regular lines, it converts with 6 seconds remaining.

McNaughton is skating to the bench with an athletic trainer.

Enter sophomore Rhyah Stewart who has plenty of experience after backstopping the #Badgers as a rookie while McNaughton with Team USA at the 2026 Olympics.

#Badgers goaltender Ava McNaughton is laying on the ice for an extended period of time after what appeared to be a collision with St. Lawrence's Barbora Jurickova.

Three goals scored in the last three minutes in this game and UW has cut the lead in half.

A solid effort by rookie Rosalie Tremblay to get the puck in front of the net before Finley McCarthy buries a loose puck for the #Badgers' first of the season.

With a team that looks a whole lot different than it did last year, #Badgers women's hockey trails 2-0 in to the St. Lawrence Saints in the first-period of its season-opener.

It's the first time Wisconsin has allowed an opponent to score first in a season-opener since 2020.
