Badgers get big boost with return of two key players
The defending national champion Wisconsin Badgers will endure a little less roster turnover than we thought, with both Lacey Eden and Marianne Picard announcing their intent to return for the 2025-26 season.
Eden, a redshirt senior last year, and Picard, a redshirt junior, both participated in the senior day festivities at the February 8th home game against Minnesota, which typically signals an end to a player’s collegiate career. In Eden’s case, she joined the Badgers during a significantly shortened 2020-21 season due to COVID-19, playing 15 games before redshirting the following season and resuming play in 2022-23 as a redshirt sophomore.
