UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. Theres evidence to suggest that a single moment defined the outcome Saturday afternoon, but University of Wisconsin mens hockey coach Mike Eaves believes it was circumstantial.

One minute the Badgers were in full emotional throttle, jubilant that redshirt freshman winger Aiden Cavallini had scored his first career goal and pulled them into a third-period tie with Penn State at Pegula Ice Arena.

But that gave way to a lengthy video review. That gave way to the conversion being disallowed for a high stick. That gave way to a goal for the Nittany Lions just 88 seconds later. That gave way to a record-setting 4-1 setback for UW in the Big Ten Conference series finale before an announced sellout crowd of 6,103.
