The men’s golf team placed sixth while hosting the Badger Invitational this Sunday-Tuesday, a three-day event consisting of 54 holes. The Badgers competed against twelve other teams.
The Badgers (1-5-1 overall, 0-2-0 Big Ten) travel to Milwaukee today to take on in-state rival No. 13 Marquette (5-2-0) after being shutout for the first time this season in a loss to Maryland.
Just when it looked like the schedule was easing up, the reality of playing in the Big Ten set in. Coming off of a home win against Ohio State, No. 6 Wisconsin (1-1 Big Ten, 10-2 overall) will take on Northwestern (12-1, 2-0) at the Welsh-Ryan Arena in Evanston, Ill.
Give me one reason why Florida State is No. 1 in the AP poll.
In the hierarchy of the Big Three pro sports commissioners (maybe next time, NHL), everyone hates Roger Goodell and everyone loves Adam Silver.
Wisconsin junior Lauren Chypyha fell in three sets in the opening round of the Riviera Women’s All-American tennis championships Saturday in Pacific Palisades, Calif.
With the end of September at our doorstep, midterm season is starting up (boo) as well as Big Ten conference play (yay?). Here are five things we learned about our begrudgingly beloved conference in this tumultuous month.
The No. 5 Badgers (1-1 Big Ten, 10-2 overall) halted their losing streak at two by sweeping Ohio State (0-2, 9-5) 25-19, 25-19, 25-17 at the UW Field House Sunday. Wisconsin looked dominant on both the offensive and defensive end as Ohio State looked outmatched the entire game.
Despite being without the services of several key players, the No. 2 Wisconsin Badgers (2-0) cruised to a weekend sweep of the Lindenwood Lady Lions (0-2) to start the season.
As the Badgers (4-1-0 Big Ten, 10-1-0 overall) embarked on another Big Ten road trip this weekend, they were looking for a pair of momentum-building, conference wins. That’s exactly what they got.
Coming off two tightly contested overtime matches, the Badgers (1-5-1 overall, 0-2-0 Big Ten) returned to conference play in a 2-0 loss to new Big Ten opponent Maryland (3-3-2 overall, 1-1-1 Big Ten).
The Badgers continued their strong start to the fall, using a seven-run third inning to defeat Highland College 12-0 in five innings Friday night at Goodman Softball Complex.
No. 19 Wisconsin topped South Florida in its final non-conference matchup Saturday at Camp Randall, but the victory did little to provide momentum heading into Big Ten play next week.

Call it a bounce-back week for the Big Ten, but then again every team showing up to the actual game could be considered a bounce-back after what happened the week before. Now let’s congratulate Indiana on an SEC win and point and laugh at Michigan.
The Badgers are riding high after pounding Bowling Green last week, but South Florida is coming off a big win of their own, despite an overall weak season so far.
Early in the first quarter of Wisconsin’s Sept. 20 bashing of Bowling Green, redshirt junior Melvin Gordon received a handoff and was hit at the line of scrimmage by the Falcons’ Kendall Montgomery, who jarred the ball loose. Teammate Nate Locke pounced on the fumble at the Badgers’ 35-yard line, and one play later, Bowling Green tied the game at seven.
