B1G drama » Drama remains as league play starts to shake itself out. North- western leads the league with 10 points, while UW and Ohio State are right behind with nine. Indi- ana remains in the mix with seven points and two games remaining. NU has yet to play Indiana or Michigan, while the Badgers' game vs. OSU will be pivotal. Indiana re- mains on the Buckeyes' schedule, while the Badgers conclude Big Ten play at Penn State, who is win- less in league play. A UW win vs. OSU on Sunday could lead to a Big Ten title for the Badgers.
Senior Day » On Sunday, Wisconsin will rec- ognize its five seniors prior to the start of its match. Colin Monaste- rio, Colin Mani, Arnel Zahirovic, Jamal Habibi and Josh Thiermann all wrap up their careers at UW this year.
