Welcome to The Field House Chronicles, where we look at the goings on of the wide world of Badger sports. We almost called it “The Field House / Kohl / LaBahn / Goodman / Porter / McClimon / Nielson / URidge Chronicles,” but it maxes out the character limit. Take a look as we highlight the happenings of UW sports that are not football or men’s basketball.

Women’s Hockey

The Wisconsin women’s hockey team, which opens the season September 27 at Lindenwood, was selected to win the WCHA by the coaches.

Rival Minnesota was selected to finish second, and received a first place vote from Wisconsin head coach Mark Johnson, who could not vote for his own squad.

WCHA Pre-Season Coaches’ Poll

No. 9 Volleyball

Listen, folks, Matt Rock has you covered for vollebyall, so make sure to check out his latest rendition of The Sett.

The Badgers head to Clemson, S.C. this weekend for the Clemson Invitational. Wisconsin faces South Carolina Friday, Sept 13 at 5 p.m., and then it will take on Clemson at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Sept 14.

Both games will air on 100.9 FM, but TV doesn’t appear to be an option. If you want to dish out for the ACC network, the Clemson game will air there.

UW Athletics

No. 22 Women’s Soccer

Only one game for the Wisconsin women’s soccer team (4-1-1), as it will travel to Los Angeles, Calif. to take on No. 5 UCLA (4-1-0). Wisconsin’s strength of schedule has been quite difficult so far, so the Badgers should be ready for the Bruins.

No TV and no radio for this one.

Men’s Soccer

Men’s soccer (2-2-0) plays tonight at 6:30 p.m. against Butler. This one will be played in
