Casey O’Brien reaches milestone as Wisconsin women’s hockey completes sweep of Minnesota State
Wisconsin hockey player Anna Wilgren returns to Minnesota State
The graduate transfer played five seasons at Minnesota State in Mankato, Minnesota.
Friday the Wisconsin women’s hockey team scored its sixth comeback win of the season.
Saturday the Badgers led wire to wire.
Sparked by two goals during the first 2½ minutes, second-ranked Wisconsin defeated Minnesota State, 7-2, at Mayo Clinic Health System Event Center in Mankato, Minnesota.
Wisconsin outshot Minnesota State, 37-18, and seven players scored in the Badgers’ seventh straight win. The victory raised the team’s record to 20-4 overall and 14-4 in the WCHA (43 points).
BOX SCORE: Wisconsin 7, Minnesota State 2
Freshman Cassie Hall scored in her sixth straight game. Meanwhile, senior Casey O’Brien (one goal, three assists) posted her second four-point game in a week. Her second period assist to senior Britta Curl marked the 150th point of her career.
O’Brien is the 15th player in UW history to accomplish the feat.
“It’s really special, I know there are some legends on that list,” O’Brien said. “I’m mostly just happy to be able to contribute to the team in any way I can and if that’s with points that’s great. Just happy to contribute to the team in any way I can.”
Three other players had multi-point games for Wisconsin: sophomores Kirsten Simms (one goal, two assists) and Laila Edwards (one goal, one assist) and senior Maddi Wheeler (one goal, one assist). Eleven players scored at least one point.
“It shows the depth that we have as a whole team,” Simms said. “It’s important, especially later in the season as we get into these more important games. Whether it’s playoffs or the later games at the end of the season, it’s important that we know we can count on anyone in the lineup to put the puck in the net.”
Wisconsin struck quickly as sophomore Vivian Jungels and O’Brien scored during the first 2 minutes 13 seconds of play.
The Badgers led, 2-1, after one period and owned a 3-2 advantage later in the second period before icing the win with four straight goals during the final 25 minutes.
Next for the Badgers is a series at No. 7 Minnesota Duluth. The teams split two games when they played in Madison Dec. 2-3.

Time to ‘fall back’ means it’s also time to check those smoke alarms
The same time to set your clocks back for daylight saving time is a great time to assure your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors are in order.
Sunny spring evenings are just a few days away.
This weekend, clocks will “spring forward” as Milwaukee switches to daylight saving time for spring and summer.
That means you lose an hour of sleep the night before, but the city gains an extra hour of light in the evenings starting March 8, when the sun will set at 6:49 p.m., according to timeanddate.com.
The seasonal change often reignites debates about whether daylight saving time should exist at all. Though the time adjustment allows for more daylight during spring and summer evenings, many experts have argued it disturbs the body’s circadian rhythms and has other health drawbacks.
Here’s what to know as daylight saving time approaches.
When does daylight saving time start?
Daylight saving time will resume on Sunday, March 8. Clocks will jump forward one hour between 2 and 3 a.m., meaning there will be more light in the evening and less light in the morning.
When does daylight saving time end?
Daylight saving time will end for the season on Sunday, Nov. 1, when clocks are turned back an hour at 2 a.m.
What is daylight saving time?
Between March and November, Wisconsin residents set their clocks forward by an hour to gain more daylight in the evenings. During the other four months of the year, the clocks fall back to allow for more daylight in the mornings.
Daylight saving time was enacted during World War I in an attempt to save on fuel costs by adding an extra hour of sunlight to the day. While it’s a common misconception, its creation had nothing to do with allowing farmers to work longer hours, and the agriculture industry actually “fervently opposed” the measure, according to the Library of Congress.
When is the first 7 p.m. sunset of 2026 in Milwaukee?
Milwaukee will get its first 7 p.m. sunset of the year on Tuesday, March 17, according to timeanddate.com.
That day, the sun will rise at 7 a.m. that day and set at 7 p.m.
Why do some people want to end daylight saving time?
In the decades since daylight saving time was enacted, politicians, sleep experts and farmers have all pushed to change the practice, either by eliminating daylight saving time or making it permanent year-round.
In 2020, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine said the United States should “eliminate seasonal time changes in favor of a national, fixed, year-round time.” Daylight saving time disrupts the circadian rhythms of the human body, and the abrupt time change has been linked to higher risk of mood disorders and heart diseases, according to the organization.
The risk of vehicle crashes also increases each spring when drivers are especially sleep deprived after losing an hour of rest, the academy said.
As of October 2025, 19 states have enacted legislation to observe daylight saving time year-round, if Congress were to allow such a change, and two states and several territories observe permanent standard time year-round, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
Over the years, some Wisconsin lawmakers have also drafted legislation to end daylight saving time, but those efforts have stalled.
