Postseason
The No. 1-ranked Badgers reached the Frozen Four for the second time ever by defeating No. 6-ranked Harvard, 1–0, in four overtimes in an NCAA quarterfinal. It was played on March 10 at the Kohl Center and the game attracted the second most fans to ever watch a women's college hockey game – a crowd of 5,125.http://www.wcha.com/sports/w-hockey/spec-rel/031307aab.htmlNovember 2018 InternetArchiveBot yes
The game-winning goal was scored by Junior Jinelle Zaugg. She received a pass from Sara Bauer that went over Harvard goalie Brittany Martin's shoulder to end the game after 127 minutes and :09 seconds of play. The Badgers' seven-period game ranks as the second longest game in NCAA history, the longest played in 1996 when New Hampshire defeated Providence 3–2 in five overtimes.http://www.wcha.com/sports/w-hockey/spec-rel/031307aab.htmlNovember 2018 InternetArchiveBot yes
