With 11 minutes left in the third, Nurse threaded the needle to Norby who fired it into the top right corner to give UW a one- goal advantage. Nurse doubled the Badgers lead with a goal of her own while UW was on the penalty kill. The forward stole the puck and dished it to McKibbon to start a short-handed rush. McKibbon passed the puck back to Nurse as she was darting toward the front of the net and Nurse lit the lamp for the second time during the non-conference series. Nurse’s goal marked her fourth career short-handed effort, which ranks seventh in program history. Minutes later, McKibbon lit the lamp again, as she received the puck after a nifty spin by Norby to collect her second strike of the contest. Senior Ann-Renée Desbiens made 24 saves to earn her 75th career victory, which puts her in a tie for third in program history with Jackie MacMillan. Wisconsin outshot Clarkson 28-25 during the contest and the Badgers were able to kill four of their five penalties on Saturday.

9 WISCONSIN HOCKEY 2016-17 9 WISCONSIN AT THE 2017 NCAA FROZEN FOUR HEAD COACH MARK JOHNSON HEAD COACH MARK JOHNSON 14TH SEASON With strong ties to Wisconsin hockey as a coach’s son, player and assistant coach, Johnson stepped into the role of head women’s hockey coach beginning with the 2002-03 season. In 12 sea- sons, Johnson and the Badgers have shattered both school and national records. Johnson has estab- lished Wisconsin’s rank among the elite in college women’s hockey. Under his direction, Wisconsin has compiled four NCAA titles, seven Western Collegiate Hockey Association playoff titles and six WCHA regular-season crowns. Johnson and the Badgers were the first team ever to land in the NCAA championship game in four consecutive seasons, winning the title three times (2006, 2007, 2009). „„ A four-time American Hockey Coaches’ Association Division I Coach of the Year, Johnson led the Badgers to their fourth national title in 2010-11 while posting a 37-2-2 record, setting a then-NCAA record for most wins in a single season. The Badgers also claimed the WCHA regu- lar-season and playoff titles en route to winning their fourth national championship in six years. „„ Four Badgers have won the Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award under Johnson. Sara Bauer became UW’s first award recipient in 2006, Jessie Vetter received the award in 2009, Meghan Duggan in 2011, and Brianna Decker in 2012. „„ In 2005-06, Wisconsin debuted at No. 1 and went on to validate that distinction with a 36-4-1 record and a national championship. As an encore in 2006-07, the team successfully defended all three championships while posting a 36-1-4 record. „„ Johnson guided the 2010 U.S. Olympic team to the silver medal at the XXI Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver, British Columbia. The U.S. fell to Canada, 2-0, in the gold medal game after outscoring its opponents 40-2 in the first four games of the tournament. „„ In his playing career at Wisconsin, Johnson helped the Badgers to the 1977 NCAA Championship during his freshman campaign. The first Badger ever to win WCHA Rookie of the Year honors, he went on to become the school’s second all-time leading scorer with 256 points on a school-record 125 goals and 131 assists in just three seasons „„ Johnson represented USA Hockey as a player in 13 international tournaments. Most notably, he led the 1980 U.S. Olympic Team’s gold medal-winning effort with 11 points, including two goals in the “Miracle On Ice” against the Soviet Union and an assist on the game-winning goal against Finland in the final contest. „„ During his 11-year NHL career, Johnson collected 203 goals, 305 assists and 508 points, high- THE JOHNSON FILE lighted by his 87-point season as the captain of the Hartford Whalers in 1983-84.
