Wisconsin’s women’s basketball program made history in its 69-59 victory over UAlbany on Friday.
For the first time since the 2006-07 season, which marks the last time UW reached the 20-win threshold in a single campaign, the Badgers have started the season with a 7-0 mark at home.
In the win, reigning Big Ten Player of the Week and superstar forward Serah Williams scored a game-high 28 points off 10-of-15 from the field. She also reeled in 12 boards, denied two shot attempts and shot 8-of-9 from the free throw line.
2023-24 Horizon League Freshman of the Year Carter McCray also finished with arguably her best performance of the season. The Western Kentucky transfer tallied 15 points and a game-leading 14 rebounds in the 10-point win.
Wisconsin’s most thrilling victories at the Kohl Center have arrived against Rutgers, Georgetown and Omaha this season. Following the triumph over Albany, Marisa Moseley’s program will embark on its Big Ten slate for the remainder of the season.
