Big Ten women's golf teams resume play this weekend with Illinois and Northwestern opening their spring schedules.
Led by its member institutions, the Big Ten Conference is proud to be an active participant in the 26th annual National Girls and Women in Sports Day (NGWSD), celebrated around the country today, Feb. 1.
Past the halfway point of the conference season, Purdue remains atop the Big Ten standings with an 8-1 mark with five teams within three games of the conference leader. Four Big Ten teams appear in the top 25 of the latest national polls, while three conference teams boast 18 or more wins this season, making the Big Ten the only conference that can make such a claim. The Big Ten is also one of only three conferences in the country to have five or more teams appear in the top 35 of the latest RPI. This week, nine of the Big Ten's 10 conference matchups will be televised by BTN or steamed live online at BTN.com.
