The No. 14 Wisconsin Badgers women’s soccer team (0-1-0 Big Ten, 6-2-0 overall) open up their home conference schedule at the McClimon Soccer Complex on Friday as they face off with the Michigan State Spartans. Friday’s game will be an important one for the team, as they are coming off a 2-1 loss to No. 11 Penn State last Sunday.
The No. 13 Wisconsin women’s soccer team (6-1-0 overall) got a late goal in regulation from redshirt sophomore midfielder Kodee Williams and a header from senior midfielder Joana Bielefeld in extra time as the Badgers survived another overtime match, ousting in-state rival University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (1-4-1 overall), 2-1, on the road at Engelmann Field. With the victory, the Badgers improved to 6-1-0 for the first time since 2004.
