Badgers trample Terrapins

Badgers score five goals for the first time since 2022

MADISON, WIS. - The Wisconsin women's soccer team trampled the Maryland Terrapins, 5-0, in the second-to-last regular season game. The Badgers had five different goal scorers, with Jenna Baumann earning her career-first in the 90th minute. 

The last time the Badgers scored five or more goals was in Sept.  2022 with a dominant 5-2 win over Purdue and the last time the team had a 5-0 shutout was against Eastern Illinois in Aug. 2021.

The Badgers showed up early in the game earning a goal in the 8th minute from Peighton Steffen. Ten minutes later, Wisconsin kept up the pressure and drew its first corner kick of the game. Erin Connolly capitalized with a backwards kick into the net. With the score reading 2-0 at the half, Wisconsin was leading in shots (11-2), shots-on-goal (3-0), and corners (2-0).

Second Half

The halftime break did not stop Wisconsin's stride as Maia Richters scored the team's third goal in the 64th minute.  In the 79th minute Ashley Martinez earned a penalty kick and capitalized with a no-doubter into the net. The Badgers fought until the very end with Jenna Baumann scoring her first career goal with 3 seconds left on the clock. Wisconsin had the statistical advantage throughout the match leading in shots (19-3), shots-on-goal (7-0), and corners (6-1).
