HEAD COACH SHONDA STANTON
"I thought Wisconsin played great and we didn't play well. We gave up way too many walks in the circle and offensively, we didn't play with the confidence we needed. We have to be more aggressive and attack. We did see some good things out of Gabbi this weekend and that was nice to see her get back in a groove. We have to move on from this and look ahead to Senior Weekend against Rutgers."

UP NEXT
The Hoosiers return to Andy Mohr Field next weekend for their final regular season games in Bloomington. IU will host Rutgers in a three-game set with the first pitch of the series scheduled for Friday at 6 p.m. Admission is free.
