Wisconsin claims 500th program win
MADISON, Wis- The Wisconsin women's soccer team claimed the 500th win in program history with a 1-0 victory over Minnesota on Sunday. The victory gave the Gophers their first loss of the season and extended the Badgers unbeaten streak against Minnesota to an impressive 13 straight games that dates back to 2013.
How it Happened

Celebrating Senior Day at McClimon Soccer Complex, the Badgers were relentless to begin the first half.
Peighton Steffen netted her first of the season in the 15th minute off an assist from Erin Connolly.
At the half, Minnesota was leading (6-3) in shots and corners (4-2), while the Badgers lead in shots-on-goal (1-0).
Second Half
