    Wisconsin boasts best mark in four seasons

    For the first time in four years, the Wisconsin wrestling team is 8-0 to start the season. It is the Badgers best start to a campaign since 2002-03 when they also won their first eight dual matches. The undefeated mark is an improvement from last season, when UW was 6-2 eight dual meets into the year.

    This past weekend the Badgers swept the competition in the Inaugural ACC/Big Ten Clash at the Carmichael Auditorium in Chapel Hill, N.C. UW defeated N.C. State 29-9 in the first match, followed by Virginia 30-7 and North Carolina 35-9. No. 10 Northwestern and Purdue also registered perfect on the day, giving the Big Ten conference the Clash Cup.

    UW also went unbeaten at the Northwestern Duals Nov. 12 in Evanston, Ill. The Badgers cruised past Division II Indianapolis 43-0, followed by a 29-7 victory over Navy and a win over Division II Cumberland 53-0.

    The Badgers kicked off the 2006-07 season by going 2-0 in their double-dual match against Dubuque and UW-Oshkosh Nov. 3 at the KI Convention Center in Green Bay, Wis. Wisconsin rolled by Dubuque 49-0 before defeating UW Oshkosh 40-3. Wisconsin has never lost a season opener under head coach Barry Davis.

    Wisconsin is next in action at the prestigious Cliff Keen Invitational, Dec. 1-2 in Las Vegas, Nev. However, the Badgers will not be in dual competition until Dec. 8 when they host Northern Iowa at the UW Field House in the first home match of the year.
