Knight on target for Badgers scoring record

Sun Valley's Hilary Knight, 22, is moving closer to becoming the University of Wisconsin's all-time leading point scorer in women's ice hockey.

Now a Badgers senior and captain of the top-ranked NCAA Division 1 women's hockey team, Knight is already the all-time leading Wisconsin goal scorer with 124 goals in three seasons. She currently has 124 career goals and 99 assists for 223 points, putting her just 15 points behind her former teammate Megan Duggan (108-130 for 238), who was last year's Badgers captain. As a senior Duggan won the 2011 Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award in leading Wisconsin to a 37-2-2 record and the school's fourth national tournament championship.

This year, 10th-year coach Mark Johnson (260-42-24) has Wisconsin on a 13-1-0 pace entering its Nov. 25 and 27 home series against St. Cloud State at the Kohl Center.

Knight, a 5-11 senior from Choate Rosemary Hall, is tied for fourth place on the team with 12 goals and 9 assists in 14 games. She leads in shots (103) and game-winning goals (4). One of her game winners, shorthanded, beat host Minnesota-Duluth 4-3 on Oct. 21. That win came on the heels of Wisconsin's only loss, a 3-2 setback to No. 3 Minnesota Oct. 16 at Madison that ended Wisconsin's NCAA record-tying unbeaten streak of 32 games.
