MADISON, Wis. -- Second-ranked North Dakota scored three third-period goals to finish off a weekend sweep of the Wisconsin men's hockey squad on Saturday, winning 5-1 in front of 13,621 fans at the Kohl Center.
Wisconsin had knotted things at 1-all at 6:16 of the second period, when Grant Besse tallied his first goal of the season.
Alas, North Dakota (7-1-1 overall) was too strong for Wisconsin as the night wore on.
North Dakota took the lead at 9:49 of the second stanza, when Drake Caggiula lit the lamp, and the visiting squad never looked back from there.
The visitors got 23 saves from netminder Zane McIntyre.
Wisconsin, now 0-6-0 overall, got 28 saves from senior goalie Joel Rumpel.
The Badgers are now off until Nov. 21, when they visit Colorado College.
