MADISON, Wis. -  The No. 25 Wisconsin women's tennis team faced the No. 2 Michigan Wolverines today, April 12, on the outside courts of Nielsen Tennis Stadium. The Wolverines came out on top, 4-0.

At No. 2 doubles, Taylor Cataldi and Maria Sholokhova were leading, 5-3, but retired due to the Wolverines claiming the doubles point.
