Poor goaltending, defensive lapses and missed opportunities cost the Badgers (4-3-0) in a 5-2 loss to Northern Michigan (2-5-1) Friday night at the Kohl Center. The Wildcats got off to a quick start, scoring 33 seconds in and quieting the crowd of 7,795.

After the second period saw UW on the verge of a collapse, as the Badgers at one point trailed 6-2, few would have believed that the Badgers could even bring the game back to within that one goal margin.
