Badgers return home after claiming fifth National title
Gates to the Kohl Center will open Monday evening at 5:30 p.m. The event will begin at approximately 6:00 p.m. A short program will follow their arrival featuring the team and head coach Mark Johnson.
The women's hockey team won its fifth NCAA title on Sunday thanks to a 2-0 win over rival Minnesota in Hamden, Connecticut. Goaltender Kristen Campbell was named the Frozen Four Most Outstanding Performer after not allowing a goal during the NCAA tournament. Annie Pankowski scored three goals during the Frozen Four while fellow co-captain Sophia Shaver scored the game-winning goal in Sunday's championship game.Â
In addition, UW will honor Beata Nelson, who won three individual NCAA titles this past weekend and was named the NCAA Swimmer of the Championships, Morgan McDonald, who won the 3000 and 5000 meters earlier this month at the 2019 NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships, and Alicia Monson, the women's indoor track 5000 meters champion.Â
Admission to this event is free. All fans should enter the Kohl Center through Gate A.
