SOCCER

After challenging start, Wisconsin’s youngsters are finding their footing

By Bremen Keasey | Oct. 5, 2018

When sophomore defender Patrick Yim’s scored a second-half goal to pull Wisconsin within a goal of the No. 2 Indiana Hoosiers, it put the Badgers in an unfamiliar spot — going toe-to-toe with a national powerhouse in the closing minutes of a game. Wisconsin put pressure on a national title contender and gave clear proof of concept to an inexperienced and young team that they can hang with the best teams in the country.

The athletic department released the results of its health and safety survey Friday, saying their findings will help them make future facility improvements.

By Sydney Widell | Oct. 1, 2018

In addition to worries over facility security, students and staff also expressed concern about student athletes’ access to health care, including mental health care, and reporting protocol. The results, which were gathered by Assistant Athletic Director Walter Dickey per the request of UW Director of Athletics Barry Alvarez, will help the department prioritize programming improvements in coming years.

Senior forward Dani Rhodes scored Wisconsin's first goal Sunday night, in a dominant performance over in-state rivals Green Bay.

After 220 minutes of play in three days, the Wisconsin Badgers women’s soccer team (2-1-3 Big Ten, 8-2-3 overall) could not settle the score in their two home games as both games resulted in 0-0 draws that were not dull despite the scoreline. Wisconsin faced off with the Rutgers Scarlet Knights (3-0-2 Big Ten, 7-1-4 overall) Friday afternoon after the game was postponed from Thursday night.

Streaking Badgers stun No. 5 Michigan State in OT

By Joe Rickles | Sep. 30, 2018

It took an extra six minutes to find a winner today in East Lansing; it just wasn’t who anyone would’ve expected pregame. The Wisconsin Badgers men’s soccer team (2-1-0 Big Ten, 5-4-1 overall) shocked the college soccer world with a 97th minute bottom-left strike by sophomore midfielder Alex Alfaro to grab a 1-0 overtime victory over the No. 5 Michigan State Spartans (2-1-0 Big Ten, 8-1-2 overall). The chippy game at DeMartin Stadium on Sunday afternoon started with two corners for the Badgers in the first two minutes, showing an aggressiveness that was missing for UW earlier in the year. 

The Badgers stayed unbeaten this weekend, sweeping Bemidji State.

After divergent Olympic journeys, Clark and Pankowski are returning older and wiser for one last shot

By Cameron Lane-Flehinger | Sep. 27, 2018

In the fall of 2010 a pair of Wisconsin skaters — Hilary Knight and Meghan Duggan — returned to Madison after a year spent chasing Olympic glory and showed the college hockey world just how much they had learned in Vancouver. Eight years later, a new Wisconsin duo are entering their final seasons looking to follow in the same footsteps and lead the Badgers to the national championship that has eluded them.

UW defensive lineman Henningsen earns scholarship

By Jared Schwartz | Sep. 26, 2018

For most on the Badgers’ football roster, this past week was focused on rebounding from their disappointing loss to BYU and preparing to open their Big Ten schedule against rival Iowa. For redshirt freshman defensive lineman Matt Henningsen, that week started with a surprise. UW announced last Monday that junior kicker Zach Hintze and Henningsen — both of whom joined the Badgers as walk-ons — earned scholarships.

Junior wide receiver A.J. Taylor scored the touchdown to put the Badgers up 21-17 over Iowa. UW eventually won 28-17.

Wisconsin bounces back from BYU loss with a 28-17 road win against Iowa

By Morgan Spohn | Sep. 22, 2018

IOWA CITY – Coming off a shocking upset at the hands of the BYU Cougars, the Wisconsin Badgers had to bounce back and focus on a pivotal early season rivalry game against the Iowa Hawkeyes. The No. 18 Badgers (1-0 Big Ten, 3-1 overall) defeated  the Iowa Hawkeyes (0-1, 3-1) 28-17, but it was less a game, more an old Ali-Frazier boxing match with both teams trading blows consistently throughout the night.
