 After two days off because of the cold weather, the BSU women's hockey team back at practice today, preparing for top-ranked Wisconsin Badgers. When the two teams met earlier this year, Wisconsin swept Bemidji State, outscoring the Beavers 8-0. Head Coach Jim Scanlon says the team has improved since then, but it'll still take a full team effort to topple Wisconsin. We know we don't rely on one player, one line. We're a team that needs everybody to be playing well, and again, that's going to be the challenge this weekend, is we need to have everybody bring in their A-game, and we know even at that there's no guarantees going against a great opponent, but also it's just a game of hockey. Wisconsin's had their number of late there on a 17-game on beaten streak against Bemidji State. Yeah, that's a tough team to beat. That's a tough team, but earlier in the year Ohio State came into Bemidji State, they were ranked fourth, and Beavers got the sweep, so they have that in their arsenal. Maybe this is the time. Maybe.
