Badje scored her first career goal in an 8-1 over Northern Arizona on Sept. 4. The goal came on a penalty kick. She added her first career assist in the same game when she aided freshman Samantha Areman in scoring her first career goal.

High School
Badje started her career as a forward under Coach Alyssa Watson at Lincoln Southwest High School, before moving to the defensive side of the field for her final two seasons.
Badje guided Southwest to new heights her last two seasons. The Silverhawks won back-to-back district, conference and city titles during her junior and senior campaigns, while also making two state tournament appearances.
In 2009, Badje helped Southwest earn a 14-3 mark, as she posted four goals and five assists. During her junior year, the team posted a 12-2 record, thanks in part to her one goal and five assists.
For her efforts, Badje was named to the all-city and all-conference teams as a junior and senior, while claiming first-team all-state honors from the Lincoln Journal Star in 2008 and second-team accolades in 2009.
In her first two seasons with Southwest, Badje notched 14 goals and 13 assists as a forward, helping the Silverhawks post 11-4 and 10-5 records in 2006 and 2007, respectively, while qualifying for the state tournament each season. She also helped guide her team to city, conference and district championships in 2007 and a district runner-up finish in 2006.
In the classroom, Badje produced a 4.1 grade-point average and was a member of the National Honor Society. She was a four-time Scholar Athlete award winner and was named to the Nebraska School Activities Association’s (NSAA) academic all-state team in 2008 and 2009.
