Wisconsin looks to hold on to Border Battle win streak
MADISON, Wis. — After a four -week break, the Wisconsin swimming and diving teams will head up to Minneapolis to take on the Minnesota Gophers in a Border Battle on Friday at 5 p.m.
Before the Badgers hit the water, here are five things to know:
-
SCOUTING THE OPPONENT
Last season, a packed pool saw Wisconsin take down Minnesota in a dual meet at Soderholm. Wisconsin's 158 points held off Minnesota's 142 to notch its eighth consecutive win over the Gophers.

TOP 25 MATCHUP
Wisconsin tops the Gophers in the most recent CSCAA Top 25 poll, sitting at No. 15 on the women's side and No. 22 on the men's. The Gophers fall at No. 24 on both sides, just two spots behind the Wisconsin men and eight spots behind the Wisconsin women.

LAST TIME OUT
Four weeks ago, the Badgers took on No. 10 Michigan and Notre Dame in a triangular meet in South Bend, Indiana. On the men's side, the Badgers had a strong showing, notching multiple runner-up finishes to defeat the Fighting Irish 155-143, but ultimately fell to the Wolverines 183-115. Junior Yoav Romano highlighted the meet for UW with second-place finishes in both of his events.
On the women's side, the Badgers carved their way through the water for multiple standout finishes, collecting six event winners. Brooke Corrigan made a mark on her freshman season with strong first-place finishes in the 100 and 200 breast events.
