Missed opportunities leave Badgers wanting more in loss to Michigan

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Two words hung on the minds of the Wisconsin Badgers (1-1 Big Ten, 4-1 overall) as they left the Big House after their 14-7 loss to the No. 4 Michigan Wolverines (2-0, 5-0): missed opportunities. Michigan gave UW a number of chances to take control of the game, as the usually sound Wolverines played their sloppiest game of the season, but time and time again the Badgers failed to capitalize. “We couldn’t really get any drives going,” redshirt freshman quarterback Alex Hornibrook said.

Wisconsin is riding high after big games from freshman defensemen Payton Wesley, who found the back of the net once while adding an assist against Purdue in a 3-1 victory.

Wisconsin stresses defense, serving in preparation for first conference road trip

Opening conference play with a 2-0 record for the first time since 2013, No. 3 Wisconsin (2-0 Big Ten, 10-1 overall) hopes to remain in the upper echelon of a loaded Big Ten hierarchy with road matchups against No. 14 Purdue (1-1, 11-2) and Indiana (1-1, 12-3) this weekend. In a year in which expectations for the volleyball team already appeared extraordinarily great, Wisconsin has gone on to set a seemingly impossible high standard for itself to start 2016.
