Following Thursday’s 39-point debacle with the Michigan Wolverines, Marisa Moseley’s Wisconsin squad (5-13, 2-6 Big Ten) defeated Carolyn Kieger and the Penn State Nittany Lions (9-8, 3-4 Big Ten) in Madison Jan. 23.
The University of Wisconsin struggled to generate offense early on, scoring 11 points on 4-11 shooting from the floor. Fortunately, Penn State only put in five buckets for 17 points through the opening period. The two groups battled back-and-forth during the first three minutes of the game.
With help from Makenna Marisa and Leilani Kapinus, the Nittany Lions snapped back with a 10-4 scoring run to close the quarter.
