In their first match at Goodman Diamond, the University of Wisconsin softball team squared off against Illinois in a Big Ten border battle over the weekend.
The Badgers, who came off a 2-1 weekend against Michigan State, were looking to continue their success. They faced a Fighting Illini crew who was still looking for their first conference win after being swept by Rutgers.
Tessa Magnanimo was the star for Wisconsin over the weekend. The senior threw a total of 18 innings during the three-game series and carried the Badgers’ pitching staff to a winning weekend.
