Lady Badgers Move to Second

Following the 500th victory of Lisa Stone's career at Indiana the Lady Badgers returned home to take on a new task. Keeping pace in the Big Ten championship hunt with a match-up against Northwestern.

Against the Wildcats the Lady Badgers would find their shooting touch from long distance. Hitting on ten three-pointers for the first time this season, but the Lady Badgers did more than just score from deep. They scored from everywhere on the floor.

Led by Alyssa Karel's 19 points the Lady Badgers were dominant on the perimeter. In the paint it was junior forward Liz Zastrow controlling the blocks with her 17 points and five rebounds. Then add in the youth of sophomore Taylor Wirtz with her 13 points and 6 rebounds, and you have a complete game. From both the veterans and the youth of the Lady Badger basketball team.

Offense wasn't the only part of the game the Lady Badgers dominated against the Wildcats. Defense was also a key part of the victory with the Badgers holding the Lady Wildcats to a season low 41 points, and 16 turnovers in the Badger victory.

With a solid performance on the offensive side of the floor and the defensive side the Lady Badgers were able to put together perhaps their most impressive victory of the season. Not to mention hanging in a tie for second in the conference with the 62-41 victory.
