Wisconsin women’s soccer junior Hailey Baumann has been named the Big Ten defensive player of the week, the Big Ten announced this week.
Baumann recorded an assist in Wisconsin’s 4-0 shutout win over Central Michigan last week before scoring the game-winning goal against Marquette over the weekend.
Baumann has also been named to the 2025 MAC Hermann Trophy watch list. The MAC Hermann trophy is college soccer’s most prestigious award- akin to the Heisman Trophy- and is presented annually by the Missouri Athletic Club.
Baumann, a junior defender from South Lyon, Michigan, is coming off a sophomore season in which she earned All-Big Ten honors. Baumann was key in Wisconsin’s run to the Sweet 16 last season.
Wisconsin remains undefeated at 4-0 this season and is ranked 21st in the NCAA.
