MADISON — Fresh off of their 22 point comeback victory over Purdue on Sunday, Wisconsin women’s hoops (7-18 overall, 4-11 Big Ten) hosted the Michigan State Spartans (14-11 overall, 8-6 Big Ten) on Wednesday night, attempting to win back-to-back Big Ten conference matchups for the first time since the 2016-17 season.
The first quarter has been UW’s Achilles’ heel all year, but the Badgers came out swinging in this one. Wisconsin took an early 6-2 lead thanks to three-pointers from Halle Douglass and Katie Nelson. Michigan State responded with a 6-0 run of their own to give them the lead, before Krystyna Ellew went on a 5-0 run of her own to steal the lead right back.
