The Wisconsin Badgers women's ice hockey program represented the University of Wisconsin during the 2013–14 NCAA Division I women's ice hockey season. Goaltender Alex Rigsby graduated as the program’s all-time leader in wins with 100, minutes played with 7,881:09 and saves with 3,126. Of note, her .941 save percentage is tied for first in program history. A 3-1 victory over Bemidji State helped Rigsby surpass Jessie Vetter for the Badgers mark in career wins. In the postseason, the Badgers were defeated 1-0 in the WCHA Final Face-off against the North Dakota Fighting Sioux. Despite the loss, the Badgers would qualify for the NCAA Tournament, their seventh in program history. In the quarterfinals, the Badgers defeated Harvard by a 2-1 mark at LaBahn Arena. Advancing to the Frozen Four in Hamden, Connecticut, the Lakers were bested by WCHA rival Minnesota in a 5-3 loss on March 21.
