Senior midfielder Micaela Powers laid claim to the goal, rocketing in the shot to the left corner of the net from inside the six-yard box for the score. Sophomore forward Emily Borgmann was credited with the assist, feeding Powers with a cross from the left side of the field.
7. Allie Winterfield is the only freshman to start all seventeen games this season.

Dubbed as the one of the most exciting and aggressive draws this season by the announcers, the Wisconsin women's soccer team (6-4-6 overall, 3-2-3 Big Ten) clashed with No. 25 Michigan (9-3-2, 5-2-1) and fought the Wolverines to a 1-1 draw on Thursday night. It was Wisconsin's sixth tie and seventh overtime game of the season. With less than two minutes left in double overtime, a powerful shot by junior Sydney McGinnis nearly gave Wisconsin the upset. McGinnis' perfect shot nearly grazed in but Michigan's goalkeeper Sarah Jackson got the tip of her fingertips on it and barely sent it out Senior Rose Lavelle gave Wisconsin the go-ahead goal in the 20th minute of the game. The low-shot goal came off of a corner kick from senior Micaela Powers.
