MADISON, Wis. – After another Big Ten Conference win on Sunday, the No.12 Wisconsin women's soccer team hopes to continue their winning streak against another Big Ten rival on Friday.

The Badgers (9-2-1, 5-0-0) host the Minnesota Golden Gophers (2-9-3, 1-4-1) at McClimon Soccer Complex at 5 p.m. Friday's contest will be streamed live on BTN Plus. Fans can view statistics on UWBadgers.com and follow along with @BadgerWSoccer on Twitter.

1. BIG TEN STACK UP: The Badgers currently sit in first place in the Big Ten Conference after defeating Purdue, 1-0, on Sunday. Wisconsin has a 5-0-0 record in conference play, its best-ever start in league action.

2. BLOOMING BLOOMER: Jordyn Bloomer in net has been the key to success for the Badgers this season. The Big Ten Goalkeeper of the Week has proven to be unstoppable, only allowing one goal past her in Big Ten play. Bloomer has earned three straight shutouts, contributing to her seven shutouts overall this season. She is one shutout away of matching her total of eight from last year.

3. WE HAVE HISTORY: Wisconsin looks for another win to add to their seven-game winning streak against the Gophers. Badgers took on the Gophers on the road last year where Lauren Rice scored the game winner in the 89th minute to give Wisconsin the 3-2 lead.
