media release: The top-ranked Wisconsin women’s hockey team will make its 12th-straight NCAA tournament appearance next weekend in Madison as UW was announced as the top seed in the 2025 NCAA Women’s Ice Hockey Tournament, the NCAA announced on Sunday morning.

Wisconsin will host Clarkson and Boston University on Thursday, March 13 at 7 p.m. before the winner of that game will play the Badgers on Saturday, March 15 at 2 p.m.

This weekend will mark the 19th time the Badgers have made the NCAA tournament, the second most appearances in NCAA history. Wisconsin has won seven NCAA championships, the most of any team in the country.

This marks the eighth time that UW will host NCAA tournament action at LaBahn Arena as UW is 7-0-0 all-time in NCAA tournament contests at LaBahn Arena, outscoring opponents 32-2. 

Wisconsin is 6-0-0 all time against Boston University, including a 2-0-0 record in the NCAA tournament. The Badgers defeated the Terriers 4-1 in the 2011 NCAA Championship before earning a 5-1 win in the NCAA Regional round at LaBahn Arena in 2015.

The Badgers are 5-1-1 in seven meetings with Clarkson with the last three meetings taking place in the NCAA tournament. UW defeated Clarkson in the 2019 NCAA Women’s Frozen Four and in the NCAA Regional Semifinal round in 2022.
