The Rutgers women’s soccer team lost a heartbreaker on the road last night to Big Ten foe Wisconsin. It was a crucial contest heading into the regular season finale, with six teams fighting for the last five spots in the conference tournament. The good news is Rutgers still qualified, but the bad news is the loss resulted in them finishing in just 7th place for the regular season.
In terms of the game, Rutgers battled Wisconsin the entire first half, before breaking through in the 40th minute with a goal from senior Erica Murphy. It was her 3rd goal of the season and was assisted on by team points leader senior Madison Tiernan, her sixth of the year.
