After a month-and-a-half of traveling to tournaments and matching up against some of the top teams in the nation, the University of Wisconsin softball team made their Big Ten Conference debut this past weekend, facing the Michigan State Spartans in East Lansing, Michigan.
Due to scheduling conflicts Saturday, the Badgers and Spartans played a double-header Friday and finished the weekend with a Sunday matinee.
The Badgers won the first game of the series 5–3, lost the second 3–8 and came back to win the series in the third with a final score of 9–3.
