Women’s basketball: Wisconsin uses third-quarter explosion to bury Wright State in season opener

Seven players entered the Badgers program this offseason, yet familiar faces paved the way to Tuesday’s 95-68 win for the University of Wisconsin Badgers over Wright State to open the regular season.

Serah Williams and Ronnie Porter, the Badgers two highest-scoring players in 2023-24, each poured 11 points in during Wisconsin’s 30-point third quarter. The outburst marked the fourth most points during a single period in program history and ballooned Wisconsin’s advantage to 22 entering the fourth quarter.

The feat wasn’t the only history made at the Kohl Center, as Wisconsin’s 95 points were its most ever in a season opener.
