Women’s soccer: Wilkins shares underlying roots of Badgers’ success

After defeating conference foe Maryland 1-0 on the road Saturday, the Wisconsin women’s soccer team guaranteed a share of its first Big Ten regular season title since 1994.

Wisconsin (11-4-3, 8-1-1 Big Ten) bested the Terrapins after junior midfielder Micaela Powers netted the only goal of the match in the 81st minute.

Head coach Paula Wilkins pointed to consistency as the key to her team’s continued success.

“Consistent in being able to play together as a team,” Wilkins said. “[That is] truly a team success. To win at least a share of the league … that’s consistency over a long period of time, and I was more proud of that than anything.
