After dropping its first two Big Ten matchups of the season, Penn State was in need of a strong home performance against Wisconsin.

The Lady Lions were able to earn a win Thursday night by a score of 71-64 against a solid conference foe.

This matchup started as a game of runs for both teams.

Penn State was able to get off to a quick start in the opening minutes, going on a 9-2 outburst to begin the game, but Wisconsin had an answer right away.

A 17-4 run for the Badgers gave them the lead after the first quarter and the Lady Lion offense began to struggle shooting the ball.
