Murtha, Cella propel UW to 2-1 victory
SEATTLE – Capping off a two-game sequence in Seattle, the Wisconsin women's soccer team knocked off Portland University, 2-1, at a neutral site on Sunday afternoon.
Breaking open the scoring for Wisconsin was sophomore forward Cameron Murtha in the ninth minute. Murtha's goal was assisted by junior Dani Rhodes and junior Grace Douglas; both players' first assist of the season.
Widening Wisconsin's lead even further was sophomore Maia Cella, taking a ball from junior Camryn Biegalski and getting a head on it to knock it in the back of the net. It was Biegalski's first assist of the season and Cella's first goal of 2018.
The Badgers attacked early and often in the first half giving Lauren Rice seven corner opportunities compared to Portland's one.
Overall, the Badgers outshot the Pilots eight to seven and had the corner kick advantage, 10-2.
Wisconsin keeper Jordyn Bloomer faced four shots on goal, ending up with three saves. The Badgers return home with a 2-0 weekend in their backpocket.
Up next: The Badgers return to Madison for a four-game home stretch. The first opponent arriving at McClimon will be Illinois State University on Thursday, Sept. 6 at 6 p.m. CT.
