How to Watch No. 7 Nebraska Softball at Wisconsin with Preview, Breakdown, TV Channel

Nebraska rolls into Wisconsin for a three-game series starting Friday as the seventh-ranked team in the country.

The Huskers are coming off a sweep of Rutgers and on a five-game winning steak.

Against the Scarlet Knights, senior Jordy Frahm led the offense with a .625 batting average. She recorded a double, two triples, and a home run. Both of her two triples came during Sunday’s 11-5 win and tied NU’s single-game triples record.

Frahm also went 2-0 with a save in the circle. She did not allow an earned run and struck out 17 across 9.0 innings to claim Big Ten Pitcher of the Week honors.

She dealt.

Senior shortstop Ava Kuszak also homered in the series against Rutgers and returns to Madison for the first time since transferring to Nebraska after spending the first two seasons of her collegiate career with the Badgers.

This series also marks the first meeting between the two programs since 2024, which was Kuszak's sophomore season.

In two seasons, Kuszak played in 76 games, making 65 starts. She started all 52 games her sophomore season but saw time at second base, shortstop, and right field.

As a sophomore, Kuszak was an All-Big Ten Second-Team selection .318 with 15 doubles, one triple, nine homers, and 32 RBIs.

All three games in Wisconsin will have a free radio broadcast with Nate Rohr on the call. The radio broadcast is available at Huskers.com/listen and on the official Huskers app. Friday’s game will air on the Big Ten Network, while Saturday’s and Sunday’s will be streamed on B1G+.

Outlook

Nebraska should sweep Wisconsin, and coming home with at least one run-rule isn't out of the question, especially against a pitching staff that allows 4.66 earned runs per game.

Wisconsin was swept by UCLA to begin conference play by scores of 14-5 (five innings), 8-0, and 16-9.
