LAWRENCE, Kan. – Thanks to Emma Jaskaniec's second-half goal, the Wisconsin women's soccer team surged past Kansas, 1-0, on Sunday afternoon at Rock Chalk Park.

After a quiet first half, the Badgers enjoyed a stellar second half, highlighted by Jaskaniec's first goal of the season. The junior midfielder scored in the 63rd minute off a feed from senior Cammie Murtha to break the scoreless deadlock.
