In the last five seasons, Wisconsin has had four 30-plus win seasons after only previously hav- ing five 30-plus win campaigns in 15 seasons. Wisconsin has had a total of 10 first-team All-Big Ten selections in program history with eight of those coming in the Healy era. Kelsey Jenkins, who earned first-team All-Big Ten accolades in 2015, is the first freshman in UW history to collect the honor. Healy has helped her players seen just as much success off the field as she has on the field. The Badgers have received a total of 18 combined Academic All-Big Ten recognitions in the last five seasons. The 2015 senior class, led by walk-on Maria Van Abel (2015 All-Big Ten defensive team) along with Marissa Mersch and Megan Tancill, went down as the second-winning class in school history. In 2015, the Badgers clinched the highest season on-base percentage (.389) in school history and claimed the Wisconsin single-season walks record (176). The season also the season record for stolen bases shattered (118 stolen bases) along with setting the highest single-season batting average (.296). At the end of the 2014 season, the Badgers finished in two final national polls for just the fourth time in the program’s 19-year history and the second consecutive year. UW came in at No. 24 in the ESPN.com/USA Softball Top 25 and received votes in the USA Today/NFCA Top 25 for the eighth time in the season. Wisconsin finished the 2014 season at No. 32 in the NCAA Softball Ratings Percentage Index (RPI), after facing nine of the 31 teams who posted a higher RPI ranking. The 2014 season boasted the second-highest win total (36) in school history. The Badgers defeated six ranked opponents and tied with the 1997 team for the most top-25 wins in a season. UW has won four NCAA tournament games over the last two seasons, having won one in the pro- gram’s first 19 years of existence. For just the second time in program history, the team achieved a pair of NCAA tournament wins matching their run in 2013. The conclusion of the 2014 season marked the end of incredible careers for seniors Cassandra Darrah, Mary Massei, Michelle Mueller and Stephanie Peace. Under Healy, the senior class went down in the history books as the most winningest class in UW history at 144-75.
