Women’s soccer: Badgers earn their stripes in dominant NCAA Tournament showing versus Memphis

The University of Wisconsin women’s soccer team (13-3-4, 6-2-3 Big Ten) beat the Memphis Tigers (17-4-0, 7-2-0 AAC) in Memphis, Tennessee for a first-round win in the NCAA Tournament.

For Wisconsin this is the second straight year they’ve advanced to the round of 32 — beating Toledo 5–0 to kick off last year’s tournament before falling 1–0 to No. 1 seed South Carolina in the next round.

The scoring began early in the first period for the Badgers when forward Cameron Murtha hit the back of the net in the 26th minute off an assist from defender Payton Wesley.
