In a 4-1 win over Minnesota State, three Wisconsin Badgers women's hockey players reached significant career milestones. Center Cassie Hall scored her 100th career point, forward Lacey Eden became one of only seven Badgers to score 6+ shorthanded goals, and alternate captain Marianne Picard returned from injury to score her first goal of the season.

Why it matters

Wisconsin is currently atop the WCHA standings and closing in on a second consecutive conference title. The individual accomplishments of these three players highlight the depth and talent of the Badgers' roster, which has had to overcome the absence of several standouts who are competing in the 2026 Olympics.

The details

Cassie Hall scored her 21st goal of the season, a power-play tally that gave her 100 career points (60 goals, 40 assists). Lacey Eden's shorthanded goal was the 98th of her career, putting her on the cusp of becoming the fourth Badger to reach 100 career goals. Marianne Picard, returning from a 'gut-wrenching' right leg injury, scored the opening goal and added an assist in her first game back.
