Texas routs Wisconsin softball in NCAA Tournament | When Badgers play next
What to know about NCAA-tourney bound Wisconsin Badgers softball
The Wisconsin Badgers are headed to the NCAA softball tournament. These are some names to know, as well as some pertinent history.
Wisconsin softball could not keep up with the reigning national champions.
Texas – the No. 2 overall seed in the tournament – run-ruled the Badgers, 9-0, in six innings on May 16 in the Austin regional of the NCAA Tournament, easily sending UW to the consolation side of the double-elimination bracket.
Texas pitcher Teagan Kavan took a no-hitter into the fifth inning until Alivia Bark’s single. The Badgers’ only other baserunner during Kavan’s five innings in the circle was on a walk in the first inning.
The Badgers did not have a runner in scoring position until the sixth inning, when Emily Bojan hit a double off Texas reliever Cambria Salmon.
The Longhorns, meanwhile, wasted no time in distancing themselves from the Badgers with their bats. They scored three runs in the first inning after back-to-back hits by Kayden Henry and Katie Stewart, a sacrifice fly by Viviana Martinez and a two-run home run by Reese Atwood.
Texas scored another two runs on a Henry double in the second inning, prompting the Badgers to pull UW ace Shelby Jacobson. One day after her complete-game win over Baylor, Jacobson gave up five earned runs against the Longhorns in 1 ⅓ innings pitched.
Texas piled on with two more runs in the third inning in small-ball fashion after loading the bases, and completed the run-rule win with Henry’s two-run homer in the sixth inning – her third hit of the afternoon – off UW reliever Jordan Felci. (The mercy rule in college softball is eight runs after five or more innings.)
All three UW pitchers to face the Longhorns – Jacobson, Berritt Herr and then Felci – each gave up at least two runs against the host and SEC tournament champion.
When, who will Wisconsin softball play next
The Badgers will look to keep their tournament run alive later today in a consolation game against the winner of the Baylor-Wagner game. (The winner of UW’s next game would then need to defeat Texas twice on May 17 to win the Austin regional.)
UW defeated Baylor in the first round following Hannah Conger’s walk-off double in the ninth inning. Wagner is coming off a 9-1 loss against Texas. The first pitch of UW’s second game is expected to be at approximately 5 p.m., depending on the duration of the Baylor-Wagner game.
This story will be updated after Wisconsin’s second game against Baylor or Wagner.

Greg Gard shares most rewarding part of Garding Against Cancer effort
Wisconsin basketball coach Greg Gard said the most rewarding part of his Garding Against Cancer initiative is ‘the people.’
MADISON – Wisconsin men’s basketball has kept one of the best in-state recruits home.
Wauwatosa West’s Jalen Brown has committed to the Badgers, he announced on June 5, giving Greg Gard his first commitment of the 2027 class.
Brown – a four-star recruit rated 66th nationally by 247 Sports and 63rd nationally by Rivals – chose Wisconsin over scholarship offers from Indiana, Iowa, Washington, California, Minnesota and others.
The 6-foot-4 guard was on the Journal Sentinel’s first-team all-area boys basketball team in 2025-26 after averaging 20.5 points, 7.2 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 2.9 steals per game. He also was the Greater Metro Conference’s player of the year.
That was a year after helping Wauwatosa West win its first-ever state title in 2024-25 while earning third-team all-area recognition.
“They’re getting a really good basketball player, but probably even a better person,” Wauwatosa West coach Christopher Newbauer told the Journal Sentinel. “Super awesome guy. … They’re getting a point guard or combo guard that sees the floor extremely well. He gets his teammates involved. He’s a kid that can score at all three levels.”
Looking ahead to Brown’s senior year of high school, Newbauer wants to see Brown add more muscle and become more vocal ahead of competing in the Big Ten.
“He’s the complete package kid,” Newbauer said. “The two things things that he needs to work on, if he gets that, I think he could be a pro down the line. If he isn’t maybe playing in the NBA or something like that, he definitely will be playing overseas.”
He is the first top-100 in-state player, as ranked by 247 Sports, to join the Badgers since Brevin Pritzl in the 2015 recruiting class. Two of the other top-100 in-state players in the 2027 class, Dooney Johnson and Donovan Davis, committed to Gonzaga and Iowa State, respectively.
“Obviously, they missed out on some guys in the past here, and they recruited Jalen really hard,” Newbauer said. “Hopefully that starts a trend moving forward. Maybe they get the kid from Slinger now.”
Brown has stood out amid a particularly deep 2027 recruiting class in the state. Johnson, Davis, Brown, Slinger’s Jack Kohnen and Wisconsin Lutheran’s Kager Knueppel all are ranked No. 125 or higher in 247 Sports’ rankings. Kohnen and Kneuppel both have received scholarship offers from Gard’s staff as well.
“It’s as deep as it’s been in a while,” Gard said of the 2027 class back in October. “We won’t be able to take all of them if they would all want to come. I can’t take them all because it creates an imbalance. If you get too young, you’re going to find yourself at the bottom of the ladder looking up really fast.”
