The University of Wisconsin women’s basketball team (8-18, 3-11 Big Ten) completed their regular season sweep against Minnesota (9-16, 2-12), defeating the Gophers 76-70 in overtime Saturday in Minneapolis.
This was a crucial victory for the Badgers, who have lost four straight conference matches over the last two weeks. This victory against the Golden Gophers also marks the first Border Battle sweep for Wisconsin since the 2010-2011 season.
Minnesota jumped out to a 7-0 run early in the first quarter, but the Badgers battled back to secure a slim 19-17 lead after 10 minutes of play.
