Coach Paula Wilkins
Fresh off winning the 2014 Big Ten Tournament championship, the Wisconsin women’s soccer team earned the program’s 18th berth into the NCAA tournament on Monday, as the fourth-seeded Badgers will open the tournament hosting DePaul University in the first round on Saturday at 7:30 pm at McClimon Complex.
Their first NCAA tournament appearance since 2012, the Badgers own a 13-16-2 all-time record in the NCAA postseason.
Wisconsin head coach Paula Wilkins makes her 10th appearance in the NCAA tournament as a head coach and fourth with the Badgers.
This marks just the second all-time meeting between Wisconsin and DePaul. The Badgers earned a 2-1 victory in Madison back in 2009.
