The Wisconsin women’s basketball program made history in its 69-59 win over UAlbany on Friday.
For the first time since the 2006-07 season, which marked the last time UW reached the 20-win threshold in a single campaign, the Badgers began the season with a 7-0 record at home.
In the victory, reigning Big Ten Player of the Week and superstar forward Serah Williams scored a game-high 28 points on 10-of-15 shooting from the field. She also pulled down 12 rebounds, turned down two shot attempts and shot 8 of 9 from the free throw line.
2023-24 Horizon League freshman Carter McCray also finished with arguably her best performance of the season. The Western Kentucky transfer had a game-leading 15 points and 14 rebounds in the 10-point victory.
Wisconsin’s most exciting wins at the Kohl Center came against Rutgers, Georgetown and Omaha this season. After the triumph over Albany, Marisa Moseley’s program will launch into its Big Ten slate for the remainder of the season.

Wisconsin will return to the hardcourt for a Dec. 28 matchup against the Indiana Hoosiers on Dec. 28 in Bloomington.
