Romine scores first career in draw with Minnesota

MINNEAPOLIS – The Wisconsin women's soccer team drew rival Minnesota, 1-1, on Saturday afternoon in Minneapolis.

Freshman Sophia Romine got her first points as a Badger with a 54th-minute goal to put UW up 1-0. Sophomore Emma Jaskaniec was credited with the assist on the play and increased her team high season point total to eight.

Three minutes later, Minnesota answered with a goal to tie the game at 1-1.

The game was played evenly in the first half with the Badgers posting three shots with two on goal and the Golden Gophers attempting two shots with one on goal.

In the overtime periods, Wisconsin put up five shots and three on goal. The closest attempt came in the 107th minute when Cameron Murtha found an open lane with the Minnesota goalie away from the net. Murtha took a shot, but a Minnesota defender made a team save to avoid the Badger's attempt for a golden goal.
