Wisconsin (7-0-0, 3-0-0 WCHA) and Bemidji State will clash again at 2 PM on Saturday.
Meanwhile, the Badger men made their first trip to Michigan Tech in over ten years on Friday and rolled the Huskies 4-2 thanks to a pair of third-period goals.
William Whitelaw and David Silye each scored in the second to help level the score at two going into the third. Daniel Laatsch broke that deadlock midway through the final frame, and Cruz Lucius added an empty-net goal to seal the win.
