The weather may not have been kind to the fans in attendance, but those that braved the rain were treated to the Badgers 3rd straight shutout as they routed visiting Loyola-Chicago 4-0 at the McClimon Soccer Complex on Sunday afternoon.

Following up just 11 minutes later was Monica Lam – Feist's 2nd of the season to make it 2-0. She was assisted by Kodee Williams and Molly Laufenberg to double up the Ramblers.
Wisconsin recorded 13 shots in the 1st half, putting 7 of them on target and forcing Ramblers goalkeeper Monica Gonyo to make 5 saves.
Wisconsin dominated the run of play throughout the game recording 21 shots for the game, 10 of which were on frame.
Taking a 2-0 lead into the 2nd half the Badgers continued to pour on the pressure and got on the board again just 12 minutes into the half as Cara Wells and Paige Adams worked a great give and go from just inside the box as Adams hit her 2nd of the season for the 3-0 advantage.
Wisconsin finished off their scoring for the day 10 minutes later as Kodee Williams netted her team leading 3rd goal of the season as the Badgers went up 4-0. Williams has scored in each game so far this season.
