WSOC Pulls Away For 2-0 Win Over NDSU
8/17/2025 3:42:00 PM | Women's Soccer
Ruhland nets first-career goal
The Marquette University women's soccer team (2-0, 0-0 BIG EAST) opened the home portion of its 2025 campaign with a 2-0 win vs. North Dakota State (1-1-0) on Sunday afternoon at Valley Fields.
Â
Marquette finished the afternoon with a 14-5 advantage in shots and a 12-1 margin in corner kicks.
Â
"We did a great job this first week applying our game plan and the result was a pair of victories," head coach Chris Allen said. "We have asked for two goals a match to be the standard and to tighten up our defensive organization and it's been awesome seeing that and other aspects of the game results in wins."
Â
The Golden Eagles controlled possession in the first half and finally found the back of the net on the team's eighth corner kick at the 39:31 mark. Newcomer Paige Dziedzic's corner found the right foot of Emily Fix and her half volley beat the NDSU netminder inside the far post.
Â
Senior Abby Ruhland, who has missed all of the last two seasons with injury, headed home her first-career goal at the 77:59 mark to give MU a late two-goal advantage.
Â
UP NEXT: The Golden Eagles travel across down to face Milwaukee at 7:30 p.m. CT on Thursday, Aug. 21.
