RIPON, Wis. — The Ripon College women’s soccer team scored the match’s final three goals en route to a 5-1 Midwest Conference win over Lawrence University on Wednesday at Prairie Field.
Ripon (9-6-0, 5-2-0 MWC) led 2-0 after Paige Birschbach’s goal at the 37:14 mark, but Lawrence battled back just moments later. Keli Muchowski scored for the Vikings (4-10-2, 2-4-2) just 39 seconds later to trim the margin to 2-1.
That’s as close as the Vikings would get as Morgan Johnson scored before the half to put the Red Hawks up 3-1 at the break. The Red Hawks added two more second-half goals, including the second of the match from Brandi Peltier, to pull away.
Dani Glass made five saves for Lawrence, and Sidney Blodgett picked up four saves for Ripon. Ripon had a 23-11 edge in shots.
