A late goal from leading scorer Rose Lavelle proved to be the difference for the Wisconsin women’s soccer team Sunday against Michigan State, propelling the Badgers to a 1-0 Senior Day victory and to the top of the Big Ten Standings.
While tied at zero after the opening half, the score wasn’t indicative to the flow of the game. The Badgers (10-4-3, 7-1-1 Big Ten) dominated every statistical category aside from goals scored, outshooting the Spartans(7-4-4, 3-3-2 Big Ten) 8-1 and dominating possession in the attacking third. Lavelle dictated the offense and registered a game-high three shots in the first 45 minutes, but failed to challenge the keeper on any of them.
