With an array of female talent on campus, we broke down the top five female athletes at the University of Wisconsin.

Dana Rettke, Volleyball, Middle Blocker

The unquestioned ruler of her domain. Dana Rettke’s career at Wisconsin has been nothing short of legendary as she enters her senior season. From the IHSA circuit to the Big Ten, Rettke has been nothing short of dominant. But the three-time All-American and 2019-20 Female Athlete of the Year still has one more goal before graduating — a national championship.

The Badgers have progressed each year in the NCAA Tournament with Rettke, with a Sweet Sixteen exit in 2017, an Elite Eight showing in 2018 and an absolutely heartbreaking loss to Stanford in the 2019 NCAA Championship Game.
