Lacey Eden gets 100th goal, Wisconsin hockey moves closer to WCHA title
Lacey Eden gets 100th goal, leads Wisconsin past St. Cloud State
Lacey Eden became the fourth Wisconsin Badger to score 100 goals. She talked about the accomplishment after a 9-2 win over St. Cloud State Feb. 21.
MADISON – History and a hat trick? It was all in a day’s work for Lacey Eden.
On the way to record her second career hat trick, the senior forward for the Wisconsin women’s hockey team became the fourth player in program history to score 100 goals.
Eden also recorded two assists for her first five-point game.
“It was a really fun game to play,” she said. “I think we played a complete game. We played 60 minutes. They came out pretty hard in the first period and gave us some competition there and we were able to get over that (hump) and just work hard and it showed up on the scoreboard today for us.”
The accomplishment was part of an eventful afternoon for the nation’s No. 1 ranked team.
First and foremost, the Badgers (28-3-2, 22-3-2 WCHA, 69 points) defeated St. Cloud State, 9-2, at LaBahn Arena to move within one victory of the WCHA regular-season title.
And individually Eden wasn’t even the team’s top goal scorer. That distinction went to junior Kelly Gorbatenko, who finished with four goals, two better than her previous single-game high.
A lot of Badgers in the mix. Six players had multi-point performances. Senior Vivian Jungels and junior Laney Potter set single-game career highs with three and four assists, respectively. Freshman Charlotte Piekenhagen scored twice for her first multi-goal game.
Not bad considering when the teams last met Nov. 14 they skated to a 4-4 tie.
UW is 5-2 since its top players left for the Olympics.
“The group that we have right now, they’ve come together,” Wisconsin coach Mark Johnson said. “Out of the seven games we’ve played, this was one of their best from start to finish.”
Eden joins Hilary Knight, Brianna Decker and Meghan Duggan as Badgers with 100 goals. Her pursuit of the milestone has been steady this season. She has scored a goal in 18 of 33 games and has put one on the board in nine of the last 11.
Goal No. 100 came off assists from sophomore Emma Venusio and Potter and gave the Badgers a 3-1 edge at the 3-minute 43-second mark of the second period.
Goal No. 2, which proved to be the game-winner, came 20 seconds into the third period and the third goal came at the 10:47 mark.
Eden has much respect for the players in the group she joined.
“Those three are girls that I’ve looked up to since I was a little kid and I’ve had the honor to play with two of them,” Eden said. “They’ve just been such big inspirations for me as a Badger and just throughout my hockey career so it’s it’s really cool to be on that shortlist with them.”
While Eden has been on a hot streak, Gorbatenko hadn’t scored in six games. Saturday she had the most consequential score of the day when she found the back of the net with less than 1 second to play at the end of the first period.
The power play goal was the difference between leading, 2-1, and 1-1 tie after one period. A flood of goals ensued.
Ohio State’s 6-3 win at Bemidji State on Feb. 21 assured the need for the Badgers to get a win in the season finale, which will begin at 11 a.m. Feb. 22 at LaBahn to win the league title. A loss gives the Buckeyes, who completed their regular season, the tie. An overtime loss would leave the teams tied for first.
The game is expected to be the last the Badgers play without its Olympians, who are expected to return to town Monday.
“It’s going to feel like playoff hockey where you just have to do the little things right to kind of just get some momentum going,” Gorbatenko said. “We want that trophy. We know what’s at stake.
“The B squad will be ready to go. We’ve done such like a great job, like with our Olympians gone and been able to hold on the fort. We’re just one, one game away from a trophy and so we don’t want to let it slip through.”

The war in Iran was a costly blunder, according to swing voters in the battleground state of Wisconsin.
NPR observed two online focus groups on Tuesday featuring voters who supported Joe Biden in 2020 and then Donald Trump in 2024.
President Trump had just announced a framework agreement to end the war, which he signed on Wednesday.
Yet among the focus groups’ 13 participants, no one said they thought the conflict with Iran was “worth it,” and nine said they felt that the U.S. is coming out of this conflict weaker than before.
Corey M., a 33-year-old independent voter, said he is concerned that the U.S. expended “so much financially and so much of our arsenal,” with little to show for it. (All participants agreed to be part of the focus groups on the condition that they be identified by their first name and last initial only.)
“We essentially got nothing out of it,” he said. “It’s hurt our economy and increased expenses for the everyday American, and it accomplished the square root of nothing.”
Focus groups are not scientifically significant like polling. But they provide insight into how Americans are thinking about what they see in the news.
These focus groups — made up of 10 self-described independents, two Democrats and one Republican — were conducted by messaging and market research firms Engagious and Sago as part of the Swing Voter Project. NPR is a partner on the project.
Rich Thau, president of Engagious, moderated the focus groups. He has been asking voters in key states about this conflict since March. And he said voters have been consistent.
“They were never on board,” Thau said. “Not the beginning. Not in the middle. And as we just learned, not at the end either, judging from what we heard from Wisconsin swing voters.”
Sam M., a 30-year-old independent, said from what he read about the deal, it wasn’t leaving the U.S. in a better position than before the war. In fact, he said he thought the Iran nuclear deal brokered by the Obama administration — which Trump backed out of — was a better deal for the United States.
Anger over high gas prices
For most voters, though, their biggest concern has remained the high gas prices that are a consequence of the war.
Tammy S., a 53-year-old independent voter, said Americans have been unfairly caught in the middle.
“I just don’t think the way that everybody else had to suffer through the tantrums of these two playing tug-of-war — I just don’t think that it was fair to the American people,” she said. “I don’t think that anybody was a real winner here.”
Several voters said they’ve felt squeezed by costs and as a result have given up something that had been a regular part of their life. They’ve cut vacations and eating out or are getting their hair done less often.
“I’ve given up all my extracurricular hobbies … paddleboarding, yoga,” said Jaylyn M., a 27-year-old who identifies as a Republican. “And then a lot of my subscriptions I’ve cut out, along with my daily coffee, which is minor, but all things that I’ve had to give up to make ends meet.”
“I had to raise all my deductibles on everything — my car insurance, my health insurance — to lower my premiums, so that I can continue to make it,” added Robyn T., a 63-year-old independent.
Trump owns the economic problems
The latest NPR/PBS News/Marist poll, out Thursday, finds that only a third of Americans approve of how Trump is handling the economy.
In the focus groups, nine of the 13 voters said they are more anxious about the economy than they were before Trump took office last year. And all but one voter said that “President Trump himself is responsible for those higher prices” because of the war.
“And 10 said he’s out of touch with their economic concerns,” Thau told NPR. “So for them, there’s a clear disconnect between how the president’s operating on the economy and what their needs are.”
And heading into what could be some tough midterm elections for Republicans, voters are really frustrated that Trump isn’t delivering a better economy by now.
“It seems to me, like, pick your issue, and things are not going well for him,” said Josh K., a 29-year-old independent voter. “I mean, we got this stupid war in Iran, and it turns out that we actually aren’t getting anything out of it. I mean, all we got was $4 gas. I mean, pick your issue — the economy, things are more expensive.”
