Badger Bits

 

 

Seniors guard Tamara Moore and forward Jessie Stomski set another record in UW history when they became the first Badgers to be drafted in the WNBA. 

 

 

 

Moore was drafted to the Miami Sol early in the day; she was the No. 15 pick overall. Her teammate waited another three rounds before she was picked up by the Charlotte Sting at No. 57.  

 

 

 

Both girls have earned top honors at UW and were named the team's Most Valuable Players at a banquet Sunday. Moore was named Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year in 2001, as her 353 steals broke Wisconsin's all-time steals record.

Stomski led Wisconsin in scoring and rebounding, averaging 18.3 points and 8.9 rpg.  

 

 

 

 

 

Despite an effort in both matches and despite home territory in the second game, the men's tennis team (2-8 Big Ten, 8-12 overall) lost both of its matches 4-3, the final meets in the regular Big Ten season.  

 

 

 

Friday, the men faced Iowa on the road and jumped to an early lead, taking the doubles point with wins at No. 1 and No. 3.  

 

 

 

With the teams tied at three points apiece, Wisconsin senior Scott Rutherford lost to senior Jake Wilson, giving the Hawkeyes the win. Freshman Alexander Kasarov and senior Danny Westerman contributed wins for UW.  

 

 

 

Sunday, the team came out strong at home against No. 23 Minnesota, crushing the Gophers in the doubles point with wins at all three spots. However, the Badgers faltered in singles play, earning only two points from sophomore David Hippee and senior Jason Gonzaga.  

 

 

 

 

 

The women's tennis team (7-3 Big Ten, 14-7 overall) defeated the Iowa Hawkeyes Sunday in its final regular meet of the season.  

 

 

 

The Badgers opened by taking the doubles point with wins from two of the three pairs. UW continued to prevail on the court, taking three of its singles matches. Freshmen Katie McGaffigan and Lindsay Martin and senior Katie Dougherty contributed points.
