LEARNING TO WIN. The maxim in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association has long been "sweep at home, split on the road." The Badgers, attempting to make good on last year's national championship despite graduations and injuries, broke out of an early season slump at Grand Forks, winning 4-3 on Friday and 4-2 on Saturday.

SIEVE! SIEVE!

The womens' team, also with a national championship to defend, earned a road split with a Friday 2-2 tie followed by a Saturday 3-3 tie in St. Cloud.

What, no sudden victory overtime?
