The Women's Soccer team opened their season with a nil-nil draw against Norwich University, highlighted by senior goalkeeper, Isabel Atkisson's, clean sheet.
SUMMARY

The Badgers returned to the pitch with a confidence that resulted in matching Norwich's second half shots on goal, as senior, Peyton Fairchild, and first-year, Moriah Stefanik, challenged Norwich's defense with two low-left shots of their own. The clock would strike zero with strong defenses claiming victory, ending in a 0-0 draw.
