ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- A Kacey Lawrence goal in the 55th minute and three saves from goalkeeper Hillary Beall lifted the 22nd-ranked University of Michigan women's soccer team to a 1-0 victory over Michigan State on Thursday (Oct. 14) at U-M Soccer Stadium.

Sophomore forward Sammi Woods had the first notable opportunity for the Wolverines in the 16th minute. A failed Michigan State clearance off a corner trickled out to Woods at the top of the box, and her rocket was tipped out wide left.

From there, U-M had MSU on its heels, outshooting the Spartans 9-3 in the first 30 minutes of play.

Michigan State (9-2-3, 4-2-1 Big Ten) answered back with its first good chance of the contest in the 33rd minute, as a through ball split a pair of U-M defenders. Senior Alia Martin was there with a challenge to dislodge possession, before classmate Sydney Shepherd cleared the ball to safety.

At the half, U-M had a 14-6 advantage in the shot category, coupled with four corners to one for the Spartans.

Michigan (10-2-3, 4-1-2 Big Ten) found the well-deserved breakthrough in the 55th minute, as senior Nicki Hernandez whipped in a service from the left flank that bounced inside the Spartan six-yard box. Sophomore Sarah Bridenstine played a ball back inside the area to senior Sarah Stratigakis at the top of the six, and she flicked a ball to sophomore Kacey Lawrence on the doorstep. She finished lower-left for her first marker of the season.

Tweet of the Match

The Spartans nearly drew level in the 73rd minute, earning a free-kick 20-yards out top-center. The shot was taken by Ava Cook and seemed destined for the lower-left portion of goal, but a stop by the senior Beall diving to her right preserved the Wolverine advantage.

Following the U-M goal, MSU outshot Michigan 5-3 the rest of the way, and had three shots in the final six-plus minutes but were unable to equalize.

Lawrence's goal marked the ninth Wolverine to score a goal on the campaign. With three goals in her U-M career, two have come against Michigan State, as she marked a goal in U-M's 7-3 win over the Spartans a season ago.

U-M outshot the Spartans 21-12 on the match, and improve to 9-1-2 on the campaign when outshooting opponents. Beall's clean sheet is her fourth of the season.

The Wolverines will wrap up the 2021 regular-season road slate, traveling to Columbus for a matchup with Ohio State on Sunday (Oct. 17) at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium. Kick time is slated for 2 p.m., with the match broadcast live on Big Ten Network.
