Badgers set to clash with Minnesota in Border Battle

By Kelly Ward | Oct. 13, 2016

The Wisconsin swim and dive team heads 250 miles west on Thursday for one of its most anticipated meets of the season: the Border Battle against Minnesota. Last Saturday, the Badgers fell to national powerhouse Auburn in the overall standings, but had some nice individual swims and relays, including two new pool records by senior Cannon Clifton in the 50-yard freestyle and the 400-yard freestyle relay.

Big Ten a mess after top four teams

By Zach Rastall | Oct. 13, 2016

As of Saturday, October 8 in the year of our Lord 2016, Purdue officially has a better record than Michigan State in the sport of football. That’s pretty much all you need to know about the Big Ten right now.

Thursday Thoughts: College football must consider expansion in playoff format

By Bobby Ehrlich | Oct. 13, 2016

By almost all measures, the College Football Playoff is a perfect way to determine a champion. Except for one tiny, little problem: Some of the best teams in the nation get left out. Look, the CFP is a serious improvement from the old Bowl Championship Series, which featured no playoff at all and often had two teams that hadn’t quite earned it playing for all the marbles. The expansion to a four-team playoff was a good stepping-stone, but that is where the problem lies.

Badgers test momentum at Michigan

By Kelly Ward | Oct. 13, 2016

Thursday night, the Wisconsin Badgers (3-2-2 Big Ten, 6-4-5 overall), coming off a dominant win against Iowa, will travel to Ann Arbor, Mich., to take on No. 25 Michigan (5-2-0, 9-3-1), which has yet to lose at home this season. On Sunday, the Badgers put all the pieces together defensively and shut down a Hawkeyes team that never got the chance to produce much offense.

Stifling defense, overpowering offense too much for No. 1 Badgers at home against No. 3 Minnesota

By Jacob Hams | Oct. 13, 2016

The No. 1 Wisconsin Badgers (6-1 Big Ten, 14-2 overall) faltered at home in front of a sold out crowd against No. 3 Minnesota (6-1, 14-2) for their first Big Ten loss of the season. The Badgers took an early lead in the first set 6-4 after trading points with Minnesota to start the game, but the lead was short-lived as the Gophers went on a five-point run to take a 9-6 lead.

Borgmann, Badgers dispatch Hawkeyes on Senior Day

By Kelly Ward | Oct. 11, 2016

Wisconsin (3-2-2 Big Ten, 6-4-5 overall) showed their defensive dominance Sunday afternoon when they beat Iowa (1-6-0, 7-8-0) by a score of 1-0 on Senior Day at the McClimon Soccer Complex. It was all Badgers from the moment the game began, with junior goaltender Caitlyn Clem often hanging around near midfield, rather than in the six-yard box, because the game was contained to the Hawkeyes’ zone. Sophomore forward Emily Borgmann praised her teammates for preventing Iowa from creating chances. “They put a lot of work in, and they were just like a brick wall out there, so props to them,” Borgmann said. Wisconsin swept Iowa in every single statistical category except for saves.

Badgers battle to double-overtime draw with Spartans

By Isaiah De los Santos | Oct. 9, 2016

The Badgers (3-1-1 conference, 6-2-2 overall) marched into East Lansing looking for yet another upset of a higher ranked Michigan State Spartans (3-1-1, 8-2-1) team—this time on the pitch. After coming through with three straight shutout wins, the UW defense gave up its first goal in almost two weeks.

Badgers welcome Toelle, Hawkeyes to McClimon Complex for senior night

By Kelly Ward | Oct. 8, 2016

After starting the weekend with a 1-1 tie against Nebraska, the Wisconsin Badgers (2-2-2 Big Ten, 5-4-5 overall) continue their homestand with a game against Iowa (1-5-0, 7-7-0) Sunday afternoon. Iowa, which has struggled mightily in Big Ten play, is coming off a tough 3-0 loss to Minnesota on the road Thursday night, where the shot-happy Gophers proved way too much for Hawkeye freshman netminder Claire Graves to handle. With UW’s offensive dominance thus far this season, Graves will be in for another tough test when her Hawkeyes come to McClimon Soccer Complex: The Badgers have outshot their opponents 218-122 and have outscored them 16-13 overall. Leading the Badgers in scoring are senior midfielders Micaela Powers and Rose Lavelle.
