Following a 23-point defeat to the Indiana Hoosiers on Jan. 5, Marisa Moseley’s Wisconsin squad (3-10, 0-3 Big Ten) faces off against another conference rival, the Fighting Illini (5-8, 0-2 Big Ten), in Illinois on Jan. 9.
The two last met on March 9, 2021, where the Illini dominated the Badgers 67-42. With a 15-9 mark since 2002 and 6-4 record in their last 10 matches, UW will look to build on their track record vs. the orange and blue on Sunday afternoon.
Led by fifth-year head coach Nancy Fahey — the anchor of 5 Division III National Championships and 29 NCAA Tournament appearances during her tenure at Washington University — the Illini’s 2020-21 squad went 5-18.
