After an average start to the season, Wisconsin has been on a roll for the last three weeks. The Badgers (9-5 Big Ten, 27-15 overall) extended their winning streak to 10 games in Happy Valley this weekend against Penn State (5-10, 14-26).
There is something about playing at Goodman Diamond that just seems right for the Wisconsin softball team.

Immediate gratification. Not only can you read the results of a fight after the final round, but you can physically feel the consequences of your actions, good and bad.

Wisconsin was hoping to snap their four-match losing streak when it traveled to Michigan this weekend to take on a pair of quality conference foes.
Spring is a season that marks change to the landscape, climate, and most importantly, Wisconsin football.
This week, we are all Michigan State fans.
Last season, Wisconsin made the smooth transition to a 3-4 defense under head coach Gary Andersen and defensive coordinator Dave Aranda.
After what has been a lackluster season thus far, head coach Yvette Healy stressed to her team that it had to find a way to string a few wins together to build momentum heading into its final stretch of the year.
