Softball: Badgers upset two ranked teams in Arizona to earn ranking of their own

The University of Wisconsin softball team (17-2) touched down in Tempe, Arizona last weekend for the Sun Devil Classic to face some of their toughest competition this season.

But the Badgers were unfazed by their intimidating opponents and were able to extend their win streak to 11, adding yet another victory over Princeton in their first game of the tournament, 11–2.

The Tigers are known league-wide for their lack of offense this year. With that in mind, Wisconsin did not hesitate to capitalize.

Princeton walked the first three Wisconsin batters they faced the first inning — setting up the Badgers to do what they have proved they can do best: score runs.
