MADISON, Wis. – The second-ranked Wisconsin women's hockey team fell to No. 8 Minnesota Duluth in a 1-0 contest on Sunday afternoon at LaBahn Arena. 

After nearly 50 minutes of play, UMD broke the silence with the first and only score of the day. 

Jane Geravis stopped 25 of the shots she faced in her first start since Nov. 20.

UW outshot UMD 28-26.

Coach Mark Johnson
On Sunday's close matchup:
"It was between two teams that were defending well today and both goalies were playing well. You get into the third period and it comes down to can somebody on your team or somebody on their team make a play and create a scoring opportunity… and they got the bounce there to get it 1-0."

On having Jane Gervais back in the lineup:
"She did really well. It's been a while since she played and she gave us a chance to win, that's all you can ask from your goaltender. We got hemmed in a little bit on their power plays and she made enough saves and kept us in the position we were in. For her to come out and play against a team like this is a start back from her injury."
