The Wisconsin Badgers represented the University of WisconsininWCHA women's ice hockey during the 2018-19 NCAA Division I women's ice hockey season. Defeating the Minnesota Golden Gophers in the 2019 NCAA National Collegiate Women's Ice Hockey Tournament, it was the fifth national championship in program history and their first national title since 2011.[1] Goaltender Kristen Campbell recorded 27 saves, recording her 11th shutout of the season.[1] Of note, seniors Sophia Shaver and Annie Pankowski scored for the Badgers in the national championship game. During the 2019 postseason, Pankowski amassed 11 goals in seven games. With her goal in the national championship game, a shorthanded marker in the second period, she set a new program record for most shorthanded goals in Badgers history.[1]
