IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Rose Ripslinger is two years removed from a high school soccer career punctuated by goal after marvelous goal. There were a total of 118 during her unprecedented four-year run at Davenport (Iowa) Assumption High School.
Ripslinger’s college career isn’t off to a roaring statistical start, unless you count frustrating medical setbacks. She was derailed last preseason with an ACL injury. That was followed by thyroid surgery in July. But it will take more than a couple scars to keep Ripslinger off the pitches around the Big Ten Conference.
