In today's blog, head
coach Yvette Healy writes about the great week the Badgers had.
What a great week for Badger softball. After going 6-0 over
spring break, including a weekend sweep of Minnesota , Wisconsin is 20-12
overall, and 6-3 in the Big Ten. We're in fourth place in conference, with
Michigan, Nebraska and Purdue ahead of us. Sophomore pitcher Cassandra Darrah
earned Big Ten Co-Pitcher of the Week honors, while sophomore shortstop
Stephanie Peace was named Big Ten Player of the Week.

We are so proud of the tenacity and fight our team is
showing right now. We've won eight of our last 10 games, and we have a big week
ahead. We'll face Western Illinois for a doubleheader at home on Tuesday. Western
Illinois is in first place in the Summit League, posting a big win this season
against Kentucky, who knocked off Michigan last year in the NCAA tournament to
earn a Sweet 16, Super-Regional bid. We'll travel to Champaign, Ill., this
weekend for a huge three-game series against Illinois. Saturday's doubleheader
will be broadcast live on the Big Ten network, starting at 4 p.m. The series
finale is Sunday, April 15, at 1 p.m.
