Washington Wins 2025 Big Ten Women’s Soccer Tournament Title

Huskies claim their first-ever Big Ten Tournament crown

 

  1. LOUIS – Washington won the 2025 Big Ten Women’s Soccer Tournament presented by Allstate over Michigan State in dramatic fashion on Sunday afternoon at Energizer Park in St. Louis. The championship match came down to penalty kicks after a 1-1 draw through regulation and extra time. The Huskies bested the Spartans, 4-1, in the penalty shootout to secure their first-ever tournament title.

 

With the victory, Washington is the Big Ten’s automatic qualifier for the 2025 NCAA Tournament.

 

The Huskies opened scoring just a little over three minutes into the match. After her initial shot, Kalea Eichenberger caught her rebound and found the top left of the net for a 1-0 lead.

 

Michigan State responded in the 11th minute. Kennedy Bell drew a foul in the box and Kayla Briggs converted on the penalty kick to tie the score at 1-1.

 

Neither team could break the stalemate in regulation or overtime, thus it all came down to penalty kicks.

 

Washington’s Jadyn Holdenried, Laura Cetina, Alex Buck and Julia Hüsch put their penalty kicks through while Michigan State only scored one thanks to a pair of saves by Tanner Ijams to give the Huskies the victory.

 

Washington’s Samiah Shell was named the Most Outstanding Player of the tournament after tallying four points on two goals.

 

The 64-team NCAA Tournament bracket will be announced on NCAA.com on Monday, Nov. 10 at 4 p.m. ET.
