Erin Jacobsen scored with 55 seconds left Monday to give the University of Wisconsin womenâ??s soccer team a 2-1 victory over Northwestern and clinch third place in the Big Ten Conference.
Jacobsen turned and fired from 30 yards out as the Badgers (9-5-5, 5-1-4 Big Ten) closed the regular season on a seven-match unbeaten streak and secured third place in the conference, the programâ??s best finish since 2000.
UW bolstered its candidacy for an NCAA tournament bid, which would be the first for the program since 2005.
