Wisconsin Women's Basketball to Renew I-94 Rivalry in 2025-26 Season

The University of Wisconsin and Marquette will renew their women's basketball rivalry with a home-and-home series starting November 8, 2025, in Milwaukee.
The renewal comes after an eight-season gap since their last matchup on December 14, 2017, in which Marquette secured an 88-65 victory at home, highlighted by Natisha Hiedeman’s 26 points.
Both programs have undergone coaching transitions, with Wisconsin appointing Robin Pingeton in March 2025 and Marquette preparing to compete in the second year of Cara Consuegra's leadership.
Wisconsin holds a 13-12 lead historically, but Marquette has won the last three meetings, and the rivalry renewal includes a 2026-27 game in Madison with details to be announced.
The series renewal may impact Wisconsin’s rebuilding efforts after a 13-17 season and early tournament exit, while Marquette aims to continue its recent dominance in the rivalry.
