Hall completed the scoring for UW in the opening frame, giving the Cardinal and White a 4-0 edge over St. Thomas. 

Maddi Wheeler joined in on the fun, giving the Badgers a five-goal lead early in the second period after going top shelf.

Earning her first career hat trick in exciting fashion, Wozniewicz found the back of the net shorthanded with 1:16 remaining to cap off the Badger scoring.

Jane Gervais stopped 10 of the shots she faced for her fifth shutout and ninth win of the season.

Straight from the Rink
Head Coach Mark Johnson
On another strong showing:
"It was a good game, building off of what we did last weekend. That's three games we've played well and hopefully we come back tomorrow with the same mentality. You come out and you establish something in the first five to 10 minutes and it's so important, you put the other team on their heels. We did that tonight like we did the second game against Merrimack and it's just hard to play when you're up against that."

On Sarah Wozniewicz setting examples:
"She had two really strong games last weekend and I think any time someone scores a goal and has back-to-back good games, you come back to practice the next week and you're feeling good about yourself. She came out strong. We talked about being first on pucks and she set the example for everybody. I think you saw the bench when she scored a shorthanded goal for the hat trick and everybody is excited for her."

Junior Sarah Wozniewicz
On completing the hat trick while staying consistent:
"You always want the hat trick, but I was just trying to play consistent throughout the whole game. That's been my goal the whole year, to play a consistent 60 minutes and luckily (Maddi) Wheeler made a great pass to me there in the third and I got it then."

Freshman Cassie Hall
On adjusting to changes in the lineup:
"It was an adjustment but we adjusted well. We kind of just did the same thing and Wheeler took that responsibility really well, so it worked out for us."
