MADISON, Wis. – Thanks to 13 points from redshirt junior Breauna Ware, the Wisconsin women's basketball (2-1, 0-0 Big Ten) team defeated Milwaukee (1-2, 0-0 Horizon) 75-46 Monday at the Kohl Center.

The Badgers improve to 2-1 on the season, and are unbeaten in their first two games at the Kohl Center for the fourth consecutive season.

Ware finished 4-of-7 from the field, nailing two threes in the process. Destiny Howell was second on the team with 9 points, notching her 1,500 career-point midway through the second quarter. The New York City native is up to 16.3 points per game this season, while her 49 total points is the most for any Badger transfer in their first three games.

Sophomore Jovana Spasovski dropped a career-high 9 points, alongside Ronnie Porter and Gift Uchenna.

The Badgers' defense was stifling Monday, holding Milwaukee to 30-percent shooting (16-54) and forcing a season-high 25 turnovers. Their physicality translated on offense, outsourcing the Panthers 46-26 in the paint.

How it happened

Wisconsin raced out to a 10-0 lead in the first quarter, capped off by Ware's first three-pointer of the season - forcing a Panther timeout. She kept the momentum rolling with a transition three that pushed the lead to double digits, while Uchenna and Dorja Zaja got going on the inside. Wisconsin shot 50-percent in the opening quarter, burying four threes and forcing seven Milwaukee turnovers to take a 20–10 lead after one

Bucky ballooned the advantage to 14 points in the second quarter, thanks to a bench contribution from Spasovski, who gave Wisconsin a lift with five first-half points. Meanwhile, Howell continued to pace the offense, finishing the half with a team-high nine points on 4-for-6 shooting.

The Badgers' interior presence was dominant throughout the half, outscoring the Panthers 16-0 inside the paint. Uchenna was key with 7 first-half points on 2-of-3 shooting. The Badgers took a 34-20 lead into the break, holding Milwaukee to just 7-of-24 shooting and forcing 14 turnovers.

Wisconsin kept their foot on the gas in the third as Breaunu Ware dropped 7 points in the period. The Stony Brook transfer converted on 2-of-3 field goals, while nailing a three-ball and two free throws. The Badges held a 52-36 lead into the fourth quarter.

The Badgers widened the gap in the fourth quarter, outsourcing Milwaukee 23-10. Spasovski had 6 points in the period, while Porter added 5. Sophomore Reeese Jaramillo checked in off the bench and notched her first career points off a baseline layup.
