Wisconsin 4 - Mankato 2

Former Badger Lindsay Macy scored for Mankato just 13 seconds into the game, but the Badgers prevailed with goals by Jinelle Zaugg, Jasmine Giles, Alycia Matthews, and Hilary Knight. Jessie Vetter made 12 saves.

By the way, the Daily Cardinal and Badger Herald both had series previews that I should have posted this morning, but I was running somewhat late today. It's a bit odd to post previews after 1 game has already been played, but I thought I'd post them now anyway for completeness.
