Rice’s strike lead No. 15 Badgers over Golden Eagles

Junior scores golden goal in overtime to lift UW past in-state rival

MADISON, Wis. – Wisconsin women's soccer forward Lauren Rice has a knack for game-winning goals, as the junior entered the 2019 season with five game-winning strikes.
 
Rice added to her total on Thursday at the McClimon Complex as scored her sixth career game-winning goal three minutes into the first overtime to lift the No. 15 Badgers to a 1-0 win over Marquette.  
A native of Noblesville, Indiana, Rice skied a shot out of the reach of Marquette's (0-3-0) Maddy Henry to deliver the victory for the Badgers (2-1-0) thanks to assists from Dani Rhodes and Claire Shea off a Badger corner.
