September 13, 2002 | Women's Soccer
The Wisconsin women's soccer team kicks off its 2002 home schedule tonight with the Rocky Rococo Classic at the McClimon Soccer Complex. Wisconsin (2-1-1) takes on No. 12 Connecticut (3-1-1) in its 2002 home opener at 7:30 p.m.
Connecticut, a perennial national power that has made 20-straight NCAA tournament appearances, fell in the third round of the 2001 NCAA Tournament to Penn State. UW is 2-3 against UConn all-time. The last time the Badgers faced the Huskies, UW fell to UConn, 1-0, in the second round of the 2000 NCAA Tournament in Storrs, Conn.
UW closes out its annual home invite against Davidson on Sunday, Sept. 15 at 1 p.m. Fans will receive free admission to the Davidson game with their ticket stub from the Wisconsin/Northern Illinois September 14th football game and can take home a UW women's soccer team poster courtesy of Country Kitchen, while supplies last. Also, this week's "Web Offer of the Week" on UWBADGERS.COM is a coupon good for $1 admission to the Davidson game. Wisconsin is meeting Davidson for the first time in program history.
In other Rocky Rococo action, Davidson takes on St. Louis today at 5 p.m., and St. Louis battles UConn Sept. 15 at 11 a.m. Ticket prices are $5 for adults and $2 for youth, seniors and students.
