Women’s Basketball: Badgers string together defensive stops, rebounds in season-opening win

The Wisconsin women’s basketball team, fresh off of an exhibition victory earlier in the week, welcomed the University of North Florida to the Kohl Center Tuesday night for the first game of the 2019-20 regular season. The Ospreys are known for giving Big Ten schools competitive non-conference tests despite the fact that they themselves are from the Atlantic Sun Conference.

This game provided no exception. After rallying to within four points of the Badgers’ lead in the second half, North Florida finally ran out of steam and the Badgers pulled away until the game ended in a 75–62 victory.
