The St. Thomas women’s hockey team took one on the chin against the No. 1 squad in the land with a 5-1 loss to Wisconsin at the Lee & Penny Anderson Arena Friday afternoon.

Chloe Boreen, assisted by Cara Sajevic and Keara Parker, scored the Tommies’ lone goal of the game at 10:28 of the second period.

Unfortunately for the hosts, Wisconsin preceded Boreen’s goal with two scores in the first period and three more in the third to win by four goals.

Tommies goalkeeper Julia Minotti had a busy day in net, making 40 saves. St. Thomas put 14 shorts on Badgers netminder Ava McNaughton.

With the loss, the Tommies fell to 10-13-0 overall on the season, 5-12-0 in WCHA play. Wisconsin continues to lead the conference with a 20-1-2 overall record, 14-1-2 in the circuit.

The two teams play again at 2 p.m. Saturday in St. Paul.
