THIS WEEK: Second place in the WCHA is on the line when tenth-ranked
Wisconsin (7-4-1, 5-2-1 WCHA) plays host to third-ranked Minnesota
(7-3-0, 4-0-0 WCHA) on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 19 and 20. The games
will be the first of the season at the Dane County Coliseum, with
faceoff slated for 7:05 p.m., both nights.
ALL IN THE FAMILY: When Minnesota comes to Madison for its upcoming
series with the Badgers, it will be a reunion for the Buchholz family.
Bridget Buchholz (Fr., Waupun, Wis.) competes as a forward for the
Badgers and has a goal and two assists on the season. Her sister
Emily, a junior defender for the Gophers, has one assist in ten games
this year.
TELEVISION COVERAGE: Wisconsin Public Television will televise the
Badgers* game on Nov. 20 with Minnesota. Saturday*s game will face-off
at 7:05 p.m., with the game shown tape-delayed at 9:00 p.m. Rob Hudson
and Turina Bakken will call the action.
Hudson is currently a sports anchor for Madison*s WMTV-channel
15 and has performed play-by-play for several men*s hockey games over
the past two years.

plays for the Madison Edge as a winger. Bakken is also a professor of
marketing at Madison Area Technical College.
The Inaugural game of Badger women*s hockey was also televised
by Wisconsin Public Television and shown on tape delay.
POLL POSITION: Coming off a weekend sweep of Bemidji State, Wisconsin
remains ranked tenth with three votes in the US College Hockey Online
Poll. The Poll did shake up a bit, as Harvard dropped from the top
spot after falling to Dartmouth. New Hampshire is the new No. 1 with
nine of ten first-place votes. Harvard is second and Brown and
Minnesota share the third spot. Dartmouth jumped to five from seven,
with their win over Harvard. Northeastern dropped two spots to six and
Minnesota-Duluth dropped to seven, despite having the week off.
In last week*s American Hockey Magazine Poll, the Badgers
received three votes, to rank just outside the top ten. Harvard was
ranked No. 1, with New Hampshire at No. 2 and Minnesota at No. 3. Just
ahead of the Badgers, with 10 votes at No. 10, was St. Lawrence. The
new poll comes out Tuesday.
JACKIE*S BACK: The Badgers* series with Bemidji State this past
weekend marked the return of goaltender Jackie MacMillan (Fr.,
Buffalo, Minn.). No. 29 dressed for Saturday*s game, and started
Sunday*s, after missing just over a month with a groin injury.
MacMillan made 26 saves to earn her first collegiate victory, as
Wisconsin defeated the Beavers 3-1.
Wisconsin*s first recruit stands 1-1-0 with a 4.50 GAA and
.894 save percentage on the season.
THE 10 SPOT: With a goal in each of the Badgers* games this past
weekend, Kendra Antony (Fr., Yorkton, Sask.) became the first player
to reach ten goals in Wisconsin history. Antony, who notched the
program*s first tally, scored her tenth in style. Her goal at 9:16 of
the third period on Sunday broke a 1-1 tie and proved to be the game
winner.
Antony leads Wisconsin in scoring with 10 goals and seven
assists, and ranks fifth in the WCHA with 17 points overall.
NEAR--SIGHTED: Goaltending continues to be a strong point for the
Badgers. Jennifer Neary (Fr., Dallas, Texas) stopped 21 Beaver shots
to earn her third win of the season this weekend. She shares the team
lead in wins, and sports a 1.56 GAA and .915 save percentage in five
appearances. Neary ranks third in WCHA action with a 1.67 GAA and is
tied for the lead league in winning percentage with a 3-0-0 record.
LIFE IN THE FAST LANE: Wisconsin broke a 1-1 tie with Bemidji State
on Sunday with its fastest two goals to date. Kendra Antony scored at
9:16 from Natascha Sherman (Fr., Seattle, Wash.) and Julia Ortenzio
(Fr., Eden Prairie, Minn.) to put the Badgers up 2-1. Just 28 seconds
later, Roberta Shufeldt (Jr., Romulus, Mich.) found the net when Kelly
Kegley (Fr., Inver Grove Heights, Minn.) went coast-to-coast and set
her up in the slot.
FIRE AND ICE: Kelly Kegley is racing up the Badger and league scoring
charts. The forward, who has played in half of the UW*s 12 games due
to injury, has five goals and three assists on the season. That puts
her fifth on the Badger scoring chart. Her five goals has her tied for
eighth in WCHA goal scoring.
Kegley had three points this past weekend, including two goals
and an assist, and is on a three-game point scoring streak. She has at
least one point in five of her six games played.
SHOWTIME: Eau Claire, Wis., native, Sis Paulsen, returned home this
past weekend and put on a show for her hometown. In the first game of
the series against Bemidji State, Paulsen scored the first and third
goals of the game to excite the 400 people in attendance. Paulsen
returned the following day and assisted on the Badgers first goal of
the game.
Paulsen*s three-point weekend helped her maintain her lead
among WCHA defenders in overall (7-9=16) and conference (5-6=11)
scoring.
Paulsen was not the only member of her family to put on a show
over the weekend. Paulsen*s brother Keith, a defenseman for the
Wisconsin-Eau Claire hockey team, scored the Blugolds third goal on
Friday night against Lake Forest. The goal tied the game at the time,
as UW-Eau Claire went on to the 4-3 victory.
DEFENSE IN NAME ONLY: Defenseman own three of the top four spots on
the Wisconsin scoring chart. Sis Paulsen leads the defensive corps and
is second on the team with seven goals and nine assists. Michelle
Sikich (So., Apple Valley, Minn.) sits third with six goals and six
assists, while Kerry Weiland (Fr., Palmer, Alaska) ranks fourth with
five goals and six assists.
As a whole, Badger defenders account for 18 goals and 23
assists. That is 41 of the team*s 94 points.

with a 2-1 victory at Ohio State on Friday, Oct. 15. Michelle Sikich
