The Wisconsin women's basketball team's (3-5 Big Ten, 7-13 overall) quick start and ability to hold off a late Minnesota (3-5, 11-11) rally propelled the Badgers to come away with a 78-72 Big Ten win on the road. Tonight's game marked the highest point-total on the season for the Badgers, who shot 50 percent (30-60) from the floor.
Senior forward Anya Covington scored a career-high 23 points and matched her career high in rebounds with 12 as Wisconsin (2-5 Big Ten, 6-13 overall) handily defeated the Northwestern Wildcats (2-5, 12-8) 75-55 Sunday afternoon at the Kohl Center.
The Wisconsin women's basketball team (4-7 overall) is in the midst of a 12-day break, and based on its last few performances, it appears the time off comes at the perfect time for the Badgers.
In their first and only road game in the month of December, the Badgers women's basketball team suffered their worst loss of the season. Kansas' stifling defense carried the Jayhawks to a 73-44 victory over Wisconsin in a Big Ten/Big 12 Challenge contest on Thursday in Lawrence, Kan.
The Wisconsin Badgers women's basketball team looks to win back-to-back games for the first time this season as they host the Saint Louis Billikens in a Monday night tilt at the Kohl Center.

The Badgers, fresh off of their second-place finish in the Colorado Omni Classic in Boulder, Colo., last weekend, face Boston College (2-2 overall) Wednesday as part of the Big Ten-ACC Challenge.
