MADISON, Wis. - Senior forward Katrina Protopapas (Chatham, Ont./Bluewater Hawks) scored her nation-leading seventh power-play goal, but the Wayne State University women's hockey team (3-6-3) fell to the sixth-ranked Wisconsin Badgers, 6-2, on Friday afternoon at the Kohl Center.

Brooke Ammerman scored four goals for the Badgers (7-4-1), and Saige Pacholok collected three assists.

After Protopapas tied the game at 1-1 early in the first period, Wisconsin tallied three straight to take a 4-1 lead midway through the third.  Ammerman scored twice in a four-minute span late in the contest to put it out of reach for the Warriors, who are 0-6-1 all-time against Wisconsin.

Freshman Julie Ingratta (Markham, Ont./North American Hockey Academy), who assisted on the power-play goal by Protopapas, also scored in the third period for her second multiple-point game of the season.

The Badgers nearly doubled the Warriors in shots on goal, 38-20, and were 2-for-5 on their power play chances.  Lindsey Park (Thornhill, Ont./Toronto Jr. Aeros) stopped 13 shots in each of the first two periods and 32 altogether.

Wayne State is idle for the next two weeks before consecutive road College Hockey America series against Syracuse (Dec. 4-5) and Niagara (Dec. 12-13).
