DENVER – Goals from Gavin Morrissey and Quinn Finley weren’t enough as the Wisconsin men’s hockey team fell, 4-2, at No. 1 Denver on Friday night at Magness Arena.
Playing in Denver for the first time since 2016 against its longtime WCHA rival, Wisconsin (1-4-0, 0-2-0 Big Ten) lit the lamp early in the first period on a goal from Gavin Morrissey, but Denver (5-0-0, 0-0-0 NCHC) quickly responded to tie the game at one. Each team traded goals again, with Quinn Finley scoring for Wisconsin, to head into the second period tied at two. Denver tallied the go-ahead goal 7:35 into the third period before adding an empty-net goal with 1:49 remaining to emerge victorious, 4-2.
How it Happened
Freshman forward Gavin Morrissey got the Badgers on the board first 4:12 into the contest. Tied up with a Denver player, graduate student forward Ryland Mosley skated with the puck around the offensive zone. Before the DU player could gain possession, Morrissey quickly skated over and poked the puck to himself. The freshman then skated in front of the net and let a wrist shot fly to put home his second goal of the season.
