With the win, the Buckeyes improved to 10-1-1 on the year and 6-1-0 in Big Ten play.

Wisconsin struck first in the 17th minute when Jane Rogers finished a right-footed shot into the bottom right corner of the net to put the Badgers ahead 1-0. Ohio State found the equalizer in the 25th minute on a milestone moment for Nette-Nina Hiltunen, who netted her first career goal by burying a right-footed strike into the bottom center off assists from Ava Bramblett and Andrea Lu to knot the match at 1-1.

Early in the second half, the Buckeyes took their first lead in the 49th minute. Ava Greco set up Amanda Schlueter, who calmly slotted a right-footed shot into the bottom center of the net to put Ohio State in front 2-1. Greco then added insurance in the 73rd minute, striking a right-footed shot into the bottom left corner off Bramblett's second assist of the night to make it 3-1.

Wisconsin brought the game back within one in the 86th minute when Taylor Gordon scored off an assist from Kiara Gilmore, but goalkeeper Peighton Northrup and the Buckeye backline shut the door through four minutes of high-pressure action to lock down the road win.
