It has been a rocky Big Ten opening for the Badger women’s soccer team as they enter October with back-to-back home losses. Despite a dominating start to the season, the Badgers begin the second month of conference play with a 2-2-1 Big Ten record.
Things started strong in August, with the Badgers showing a dominating presence at the pitch. Opening the season in Kansas City, the team came home with a four-to-nothing win against the Kangaroos. Forward Lauren Rice started her season with back-to-back goals in the 12 and 17 minutes in the match. Adding to the score were Junior Claire Odmark and Freshman Maddie Ishaug.
