PONTIAC, Michigan – Emma Jaskaniec scored in the 21st minute to lead the Wisconsin women's soccer team to a 1-0 win over Michigan at the UWS Sports Complex in Pontiac, Michigan.

A sophomore from Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, Jaskaniec scored her first goal of the year and her third career tally in the middle of the first half off an assist from senior Cameron Murtha to give UW (2-1-0) its first road win of the year.
