To kick off the 2025 season, three University of Wisconsin women’s soccer players were named to the 2025 Big Ten Players to Watch list. Junior defender Hailey Baumann and grad student midfielders Madison Ishaug and Ashley Martinez have been pipped by the Big Ten to have standout seasons, and for good reason.
Coming off the back of a 10-6-5 season — wins-losses-draws — and a 5-3-3 record in the Big Ten, the Badgers went on to defeat the No. 4 Virginia Cavaliers and advance to the Round of 16 of the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2021.
