Game Notes: The Badgers will be looking finish off with a 2-1 record against in-state opponents. Schachtner is the main player that the Badgers have to worry about, but the team displayed great defense against Torre Johnson on Wedensday and I would expect them to do the same again on Saturday night. Though not to overlook anyone, it's likely that another easy win is on the way.
