Following a back-and-forth match against Nebraska, Marisa Moseley’s Wisconsin squad (8-20, 5-13 Big Ten) handed Katie Gearlds and the Purdue Boilermakers (16-13, 7-11 Big Ten) their 11th conference loss this season on a game-clinching layup from sophomore Halle Douglass and block from Brooke Schramek
Both groups played well early on, combining for 17 total points and a lead change within the first six minutes of the opening frame. But then Purdue went colder than ice, missing its final seven shot attempts of the quarter and allowing Wisconsin to generate an 8-0 scoring run and nine-point edge heading into the second frame.
