Wisconsin women's basketball to renew in-state rivalry this fall
Wisconsin women's basketball to renew in-state rivalry this fall The Wisconsin women's basketball program will renew its I-94 rivalry with Marquette as part of a home-and-home series beginning on Nov. 8, 2025. UW will travel east to Milwaukee for the first leg of the series, then welcome the Golden Eagles to the Kohl Center in 2026. The two squads last squared off in 2017. The Golden Eagles own a 6-5 mark against the Badgers since the 2001-02 season. Wisconsin's Nov. 8 contest against the in-state rival also marks the first game the Badgers' program has announced under new head coach Robin Pingeton, who took over following former head coach Marisa Moseley's resignation earlier this year. The Badgers, who went 13-17 during the 2024-25 slate, will open the 2025-26 campaign with an entirely new roster. Former Wisconsin star Serah Williams and starting center Carter McCray transferred following the season's end, prompting Pingeton to look for talent in the portal. The former Missouri coach responded with seven transfer commitments. Those include Croatian center Dorja Zaja, Illinois forward Shay Bollin, Stony Brook guard Breauna Ware, Howard guard Destiny Howell, NC State guard Laci Steele, Southern Illinois forward Gift Uchenna and Missouri State guard Kyrah Daniels. The Badgers also signed class of 2025 standout Nikki Kerstein in April, bolstering the program's backcourt depth. While both Williams and McCray departed, starting guard Ronnie Porter returns for her fourth season in Madison as the Badgers' leading veteran presence. She, alongside new acquisitions Uchenna and Howell, projects to spearhead Wisconsin's offensive attack this coming season.

How many 4 seeds have made College World Series? Murray State baseball becomes latest Show Caption Hide Caption Ole Miss baseball coach Mike Bianco, Luke Hill after Murray State Ole Miss baseball coach Mike Bianco and third baseman Luke Hill spoke after the Rebels' season-ending loss to Murray State on June 2. Murray State etched its name in the college baseball record books on Monday. The Racers, who fell in Game 1 of the Durham Super Regional to Duke on Saturday, June 7, rallied to win Games 2 and 3 on June 8 and June 9 respectively, to advance to the College World Series, becoming the fourth No. 4 seed to ever punch a ticket to Omaha. Murray State won the Oxford Regional over No. 10 Ole Miss before taking on Duke, which won the Athens Regional vs. No. 7 Georgia. REQUIRED READING: Duke-Murray State baseball final score: Racers advance to first CWS in program history Murray State (44-15) won the Missouri Valley Conference tournament to reach the NCAA tournament and is entering the CWS with plenty of confidence. It now shifts its focus to No. 15 UCLA, which the Racers face in the opening round on Saturday, June 14. Here's a look at the other No. 4 seeds to reach the College World Series, and how they fared in the tournament: No. 4 seeds to reach CWS Murray State became the fourth No. 4 seed to ever reach the College World Series on June 9. No. 4 seeds were added to the NCAA tournament when the field expanded to 64 teams in 1999. The Racers join Oral Roberts (2023), Stony Brook (2012) and Fresno State (2008) as No. 4 seeds to reach Omaha, Nebraska. Fresno State is the lone No. 4 seed to ever win the national championship. Here's a look at how each No. 4 seed fared at the CWS: No. 4 seed records at CWS Oral Roberts Oral Roberts went 52-14 in 2023, winning the Summit League tournament to earn a spot in the NCAA tournament. It defeated Oklahoma State in the Stillwater Regional and Oregon in the Eugene Super Regional to reach the CWS. The Golden Eagles won their opening game of the CWS against TCU, advancing to the winner's bracket. However, Oral Roberts then dropped its next two games, falling to Florida and then TCU in a loser's bracket grudge match. Stony Brook Stony Brook had quite the run in 2012, defeating Miami in the Coral Gables Regional before upsetting No. 7 LSU in the Baton Rouge Super Regional to reach the College World Series. Like Murray State, Stony Brook dropped Game 1 of the super regional series before winning back-to-back games to take the series. The Seawolves ran out of gas in Omaha, however, falling to UCLA 9-1 in the first round before losing again to Florida State 12-2 in an elimination game. Fresno State Fresno State started the season ranked No. 21 in the preseason polls, but quickly didn't live up to expectations before winning the WAC tournament to earn an NCAA tournament bid. The Bulldogs faced adversity in the Long Beach Regional, reaching the winner's bracket before losing to San Diego 15-1 in Game 1 of the regional final. Fresno State then won the if-necessary game of the regional 5-1 to advance. Fresno State lost Game 1 of the Tempe Super Regional to Arizona State, before winning back-to-back games against the Sun Devils on the road to reach the CWS. It later took Fresno State three games to win the national championship series, as well, as the Bulldogs faced elimination four times in the NCAA tournament. The Bulldogs beat Rice 17-5 and North Carolina 5-3 to reach the semifinals, where they lost to North Carolina 4-3 before winning 6-1 to make the national championship series. They then lost Game 1 of the series 7-6 before beating Georgia 19-10 and 6-1 in back-to-back games to win their first and only national title in program history. Murray State enters the College World Series having played three games facing elimination, including back-to-back super regional games against Duke. The Racers will try to duplicate Fresno State's historic 2008 run in their first CWS appearance this season.

Aberdeen Central caps off strong season with ‘AA' state title
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — The Aberdeen Central girls golf team came up short of a state title last year. That fueled the Golden Eagles this season as they rolled into the state tournament with their eyes on the prize. Aberdeen Central finished in third place at last year's class 'AA' state golf tournament, while standout Olivia Braun finished runner-up in the individual competition by one stroke. 'Both team and individual last year, we were kind of disappointed in how it turned out. Overall, I think we all came back stronger,' Braun said. The Golden Eagles played in nine tournaments this year, finishing first five times. They carried that momentum into the state tournament, where Braun led the charge. Olivia shot one-under par in the first round and followed that up with a 69, three-under in round two. She even birdied two of her last three holes, leaving no doubt that she would be this year's state champ. 'The last two years she been very close and it's come down to maybe the last few holes. It's tough to accept, but I feel like you have to lose some before you win. You have to take the good with the bad,' head coach Kim Zimmerman said. 'I put in a lot of work, especially after last year. I had that bitter taste in my mouth, but I just went out on the course, started practicing and it really showed off these last two days,' Braun said. Aberdeen Central also came away with the team title. Along with Braun, two other Golden Eagles finished in the top five, including Emma Dohrer and Kyley Wirebaugh. 'I knew they were capable of it, but you don't win anything on just your capabilities. You have to go out and practice and show everybody what you're capable of and they really did step up this year,' Zimmerman said. It was a full team effort that helped bring the first state girls golf title to the Hub City. 'I have a lot of emotions going through me right now and I'm sure they do as well,' Zimmerman said. 'I'm just very proud of our school and the golf team and how we represent the school.' Aberdeen Central has finished runner-up four times for the team title. Olivia joins 2018 champ Sydney Wirebaugh as the two individuals to claim a state crown. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
