Cardinal looks to capture four-peat, make flag football great again

By Tes F. Michael | Oct. 20, 2016

In an attempt to restore law and order to Vilas Park, The Daily Cardinal is back at it again Saturday, seeking to win its fourth flag football game in a row against The Badger Herald. The young group of Cardinalistas has been training since last year’s epic 35-28 win to ensure that nobody questions their standing as Wisconsin’s oldest, independent (yes we are fully independent, feel free to look up the definition, Herald) and verified collegiate newspaper.

Nuttycombe Invitational features best runners in the country

By Cameron Lane-Flehinger | Oct. 19, 2016

In NCAA cross country the third weekend of October is traditionally when the season begins in earnest, when the teams that will compete for a national title in late November establish their credentials as contenders. With seven of the top ten teams in the country on the men’s side, and the last two national champions for the women, the 2016 edition of the Nuttycombe Wisconsin Invitational promised to be the most competitive in the event’s eight-year history. Coming into the meet, the major storyline for the women’s race was whether or not defending champion and course record holder Allie Ostrander of Boise State would run.

Wisconsin rebounds from tough loss with 3-0 victory over UW-Milwaukee

By Jake Nisse | Oct. 19, 2016

Wisconsin (3-2-1 Big Ten, 8-3-2 overall) bounced back from its heartbreaking loss to Maryland with a defeat of UW-Milwaukee (3-2-1 Horizon , 6-6-3 overall) 3-0 Tuesday night, as three different Badgers all chipped in with goals. Though junior midfielder Christopher Mueller is still upset about the recent loss, he was proud about the way his team responded, earning a comprehensive win against an in-state rival. “Every setback is an opportunity for a comeback,” Mueller said.

Despite valiant comeback effort, Badgers cut down at hands of No. 6 Boston College

By Ethan Levy | Oct. 16, 2016

With just under ten minutes left in the third period, the Wisconsin Badgers (2-2) found themselves down 6-5 in the second game of a weekend series at the Kohl Center against No. 6-ranked Boston College (2-2). After the second period saw UW on the verge of a collapse, as the Badgers at one point trailed 6-2, few would have believed that the Badgers could even bring the game back to within that one goal margin.

Badgers continue unbeaten streak, drop Spartans in East Lansing

By Cal Larsen | Oct. 16, 2016

It was a quick victory Sunday afternoon for Wisconsin (4-2-3 Big Ten, 7-4-6 overall) against the Spartans of Michigan State (2-7-0, 5-10-1). Of course, the game itself wasn’t especially quick—it lasted the usual 90 minutes—but quick in the sense that senior midfielder Michaela Powers scored the first and only goal of the match in the first minute of play. The goal was assisted by sophomore forward Emily Borgmann just 22 seconds into the match. As a whole, the Badgers outshot Michigan State 10-9.

Clem, Badgers hoping to stifle Spartans in East Lansing

By Cal Larsen | Oct. 15, 2016

After battling a strong Nebraska team at home, a game that in a 1-1 tie after two overtimes, gaining a victory against Iowa and another draw with Michigan, the Wisconsin Badgers (3-2-3 Big Ten, 6-4-6 overall) are ready to head to East Lansing to add one more victory to their résumé against a weak Michigan State Spartans team (2-6-0, 5-9-1). Wisconsin hopes to keep up the defensive intensity it’s had going in those past three games.

Badgers fall to top-ranked Terps in overtime despite heroic effort

By Jake Nisse | Oct. 14, 2016

The Wisconsin men’s soccer team (3-2-1 Big Ten, 7-3-2 overall) lost 3-2 to the No. 1-ranked Maryland Terrapins (6-0-1, 11-0-2) Friday night, marking an unfortunate end to a stellar performance from the Badgers in College Park. The game was an exciting and fast-paced attacking affair, as both teams saw plenty of good chances and both goalkeepers were forced into at least five saves apiece. Maryland opened the game well, as senior defender Alex Crognale’s header found the back on the net inside the 12th minute of the game for the Terps. The rest of the first half was a scrappy, physical affair as the two teams combined for 18 fouls, with neither being able to score and Wisconsin defenders Alex Masbrusch and Elan Koenig receiving yellow cards. The Badgers finally leveled the score in the 64th minute, with sophomore defender Sam Brotherton scoring following the set-piece delivery of junior midfielder Christopher Mueller.

After a hard-fought series with Ohio State, No. 1 Wisconsin (3-0-1 WCHA, 3-0-1 overall) is set to head on the road for a tough, non-conference matchup with No. 7 Clarkson (2-1-1 overall) this weekend.

Houston falters, Michigan dominates in week six

By Isaiah De los Santos | Oct. 13, 2016

Week six of College Football was full of scoring, as a multitude of defenses were beat by 40-plus, 50-plus and even 70-plus points (78 to be exact—looking at you, Rutgers). Teams are now setting up for the meat of their schedules, as conference play is making teams show up or be shown out. Pivotal matchups will only increase in number as the outcome of conference championships—and the College Football Playoffs—will be shaped by the results of games played in the following weeks.
