Defense suffocates, offense struggles in Badgers' win over Hawkeyes

By Lorin Cox | Oct. 23, 2016

The Wisconsin Badgers’ defense knew it had to get back on track after allowing a season-high 30 points last week, and Saturday was mission accomplished as UW (2-2 Big Ten, 5-2 overall) held the Iowa Hawkeyes (3-2, 5-3) out of the endzone in a 17-9 victory in Iowa City to reclaim the Heartland Trophy. Justin Wilcox’s defense is a group that won’t be satisfied with allowing nine points, but the way they shut down senior quarterback C.J. Beathard and the Iowa offense left little to complain about.

Returnees integral to Iowa's season

By Scott Reichel | Oct. 21, 2016

The Iowa Hawkeyes had extremely high hopes going into their 2016 football campaign. In 2015, Iowa went 12-2 overall and 8-0 in the Big Ten, earning a spot in the Big Ten championship game, where they eventually lost a tight, hard-fought contest to Michigan State 16-13.

Tough talk: Violence unavoidable, celebrated in football

By Thomas Valtin-Erwin | Oct. 21, 2016

I’ll be the first to admit that I love football. There’s something inherently primal about lining up in front of someone, knowing that your only goal in that moment is either to get past them or stop them from getting past you. It’s not necessarily always that simple, but when you get the ball in your hands, all you’re focused on is plowing through people to reach your goal.

Endicott finding groove as UW field goal kicker

By Andrew Tucker | Oct. 21, 2016

For many Badgers starters, the road from high school to being a Wisconsin football star was pretty linear: standout at an in-state high school, get heavily recruited, receive playing time as an underclassman and then start as a weathered veteran. For others, like senior kicker Andrew Endicott, it was a winding road that would be deemed unrealistic if it was the plot of a movie. Endicott was born and raised in Roseville, Calif., where he played football for Jesuit High School.

Nelson, Badgers head south for tough matchup with NC State

By Kelly Ward | Oct. 20, 2016

Badgers to take on dominant Wolfpack in tough road meet Wisconsin head swim and dive coach Whitney Hite has tried his hardest over the last few seasons to schedule a veritable gauntlet of meets for his athletes during the first half of the season, and this year has been no exception. The Badgers opened their dual meet season with narrow losses to SEC powerhouse Auburn on both the men’s and women’s sides, but came away from that meet with seven provisional NCAA qualifiers.

Head coach Mark Johnson's Badger squad is riding a 10-game win streak.

After sweep, Wisconsin gets set for conference series against North Dakota

By Ben Leadholm | Oct. 20, 2016

Fresh off of a tough non-conference sweep over No. 8 Clarkson, top-ranked Wisconsin (3-0-1 WCHA, 5-0-1 overall) is set to return to WCHA play at No. 10 North Dakota October 22 and 23. “Certainly pleased with the effort this past weekend with our games at Clarkson, I knew it was going to be challenging,” Johnson said at his press conference Monday, according to UWBadgers.com.

Haggerty, Badgers learn from Minnesota mishap, use lessons to prepare for battle against No. 1 Cornhuskers

By David Gwidt | Oct. 20, 2016

Head coach Kelly Sheffield didn’t sugarcoat anything in his Monday press conference. Addressing his team’s recent straight-set loss to Minnesota, he opened his weekly press conference by telling reporters that the players should be “ticked off” at the outcome. Wisconsin will not have to wait long to avenge its only Big Ten blemish of the season, as the Badgers get set to take on the reigning national champion Nebraska Cornhuskers on the road this weekend. No. 4 Wisconsin will visit top-ranked Nebraska Friday night, before heading out to Carver-Hawkeye Arena to play Iowa this Saturday. While getting swept by the Gophers certainly doesn’t sit well with the Badger players, they are trying to reconcile with the defeat in a calculated fashion, explaining that as badly as the match turned out, there are still some lessons that can be gleaned from the sobering showing. “The day after that loss we had a long meeting and film, and as a team we we didn’t want to play like that or get swept at home at all,” freshman hitter Molly Haggerty said in practice.

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.
