Freshman Nicole Bauman was named the Big Ten Co-Freshman of the Week today after scoring a career-high 16 points against Marquette last Wednesday. The 5-10 guard sank two free throws with 14 seconds left to seal the 71-68 win. She is starting due to the injury of senior guard Taylor Wurtz.

For the second time this season and first time since playing Milwaukee on Nov. 11, Wisconsin had four players score in double digits against Marquette on Wednesday. Morgan Paige (19), Nicole Bauman (16), Jacki Gulczynski (14) and Cassie Rochel (10) each posted double-digit performances in UW's win over Marquette.
The Badgers are 2-0 this season with four players in double figures. UW has played without second leading scorer Taylor Wurtz for four-straight games.
