Badgers face tough test in weekend series with Illinois

By Kelly Ward | Apr. 22, 2016

The Wisconsin Badgers (8-5-1 Big Ten, 23-17-1 overall) will finally get to return to Goodman Diamond this weekend for an extended period of time, as their series against Illinois is the beginning of an eight-game home stand. The homestand was supposed to begin Wednesday with a doubleheader against North Dakota State, but those games were preemptively cancelled due to weather concerns and will not be replayed. Wisconsin will attempt to build on the momentum it has gathered during its last five games, going 4-1 on the road against Big Ten foes Iowa and Minnesota. “This had to have been one of the best weeks in Wisconsin softball since our staff has been here,” head coach Yvette Healy said of the road trip earlier this week.
