MADISON, WI (WSAU) Thye Badgers 6-game losing streak ended with a 13-10 win over Washington in the sleet and rain in Madison.
The win comes after an announcement earlier in the week that Luke Fickell would be back at the team’s coach next season. “The whole locker room has been behind Coach Fick since day one,” said Catalano, who had 19 tackles. “Hearing that obviously reaffirmed us.”
The Badgers defense was dominant in the second half, closing out the game with a 4th down stop against the Huskies. Nathanial Vakos made a tiebreaking 32-yard field goal late in the third quarter that put the Badgers ahead for good.
Wisconsin is now 3-6 this season and 1-5 in the Big Ten. They’ll play 2nd ranked Indiana next Saturday at 11am CT.
