OSHKOSH (NBC 26) — A power outage in Oshkosh Wednesday caused a brief delay during the Wisconsin Herd's School Day Game at Oshkosh Arena.

Wisconsin Public Service confirms to NBC 26 that a tree came into contact with their equipment which caused the power to go out for 20 minutes. WPS said the outage impacted 4,700 customers. Crews restored power at 12:15 p.m.

The Herd said more than 3,600 students from schools across Wisconsin are attending Wednesday's game against the College Park Skyhawks.
