Softball
The UW softball team lost both of its games against No. 9 Michigan Saturday at Goodman Diamond.
The Badgers (3-13 Big Ten, 13-35 overall) lost the first game of the double-header 10-0 after the Wolverines scored all ten of their runs in the final three innings of the game.
UW senior Leah Vanevenhoven pitched 5.1 innings, allowing five runs on six hits and striking out three. Vanevenhoven also led the Badgers with two hits in game one.
Michigan (10-2, 35-9) won the rain-shortened second game 5-0 after holding the Badgers to just one hit, provided by UW sophomore centerfielder Jennifer Krueger. UW only managed four base runners in five innings and struck out seven times.
The game was originally postponed until Sunday after heavy rains hit Madison in the middle of the sixth inning, but overnight rain left the field unplayable. Wisconsin's next game will be Wednesday at 4 p.m. against Northern Illinois.

Men's Soccer
The Wisconsin men's soccer team's exhibition matches at the annual Wisconsin Cup were canceled this weekend because of thunderstorms in the Milwaukee area.
