    The Wisconsin Badgers are once again National Champions.  A thrilling 4-3 victory over the Ohio State Buckeyes secured Wisconsin’s fourth Championship since 2019.

    However, this one was special in that fans’ reactions were caught live the moment it happened.

    In Sunday’s come-from-behind victory over the Ohio State Buckeyes, the Wisconsin Badgers won a record eighth national championship:

    The game — a rematch of the 2023 and 2024 championship games — saw the two highest-scoring teams in the country deliver the highest-scoring championship game since 2014.

    It’s also the third-straight year the championship game was decided by just one goal.

    The Buckeyes were the only team in the country to defeat the No. 1-seeded Badgers in regulation all season and nearly did so a second time, if not for the late heroics of Wisconsin star Kirsten Simms, who scored on a penalty shot after a coaches challenge for covering the puck with just 18.9 seconds left.

    Here is a video of the moment Wisconsin took home the title:
