Ashley Porter led the Timberlake effort with seven points.

The Badgers finished the opening quarter ahead by a bucket, 7-5, and their offense sparked in the second quarter, led by Robertson with seven points, as they out-shot Timberlake 13-4 to go into the locker room with a 20-9 half-time lead.

The Badger defense held Timberlake to 15 points in the second half, while scoring 33 points on offense.

"We were able to get inside," Badger coach Travis Hinthorn said.

"That's something we've been working on."
