waukee, the Badgers have the strength of schedule to make a postseason run. Re- cent losses to No. 8 Penn State and No. 22 Michigan hurt, but UW can make a strong case for itself and take a huge step toward regaining momentum in the Big Ten race with a good showing on the road this week.
Shooting stars » The Badgers hold a 4-0-0 record in 2012 when outshooting oppo- nents, with a pair of those victories coming in shutout fashion. The Badgers rank eighth in the con- ference in shots, averaging 11.33 a match, with senior Monica Lam- Feist leading the team through 10 games with 29.
McClimon magic » The Badgers are 5-1-0 at the Mc- Climon Complex this season, a feat UW has not accomplished since 2008. UW holds a 27-13-7 (.648) record at the McClimon Complex during the Paula Wilkins era and have recorded shutouts in 14 of its last 18 home matches.
