CANTON, N.Y. (Interstat) — Wisconsin will aim for a second straight win to open its women’s NCAA Division I hockey season Saturday when it visits Saint Lawrence at Appleton Arena in Canton, N.Y.

Both teams enter the matchup with one game played this season. The Badgers enter 1-0 after a 6-2 victory at Saint Lawrence in the teams’ most recent meeting. That game also stands as the most recent result for both programs. Wisconsin won the head-to-head matchup, while the Saints opened 0-1 with the loss. The Badgers are the visiting team for the rematch, and the Saints are the home team.

Saint Lawrence will look to earn a split and secure its first win of the young season. The Saints are set to play on home ice at Appleton Arena, where they will try to slow a Wisconsin offense that produced six goals in the first meeting. Saint Lawrence will need a stronger defensive effort after allowing six goals in its opener. The Saints scored twice in the first meeting and will seek more production against the Badgers.

Wisconsin carries momentum into Saturday’s contest. The Badgers’ 1-0 record gives them an early unbeaten start, and they will attempt to finish the weekend with two wins over the Saints. Wisconsin’s schedule continues with a home series against Boston University. The Badgers will host the Terriers for two games before heading to Ohio State for a pair of games. Later in October, Wisconsin is scheduled to host Minnesota State for two games and visit Saint Cloud State for two. November matchups against St. Thomas are also on the Badgers’ upcoming slate.

Saint Lawrence returns to action after opening its season against Wisconsin. The Saints will next travel to Maine for a series before returning home to face Clarkson. Saint Lawrence also has upcoming road series at New Hampshire, plus home games against Penn State. The Saints will visit Dartmouth and Harvard to close October.

The game is part of the women’s NCAA Division I schedule and will be played at Appleton Arena in Canton, N.Y. Wisconsin enters as the visiting team, while Saint Lawrence is the home team. The Badgers and Saints are meeting for the second time in as many games, following Wisconsin’s 6-2 win.
