On Saturday evening, No. 4 Wheaton College defeated the No. 12 Washington University women’s soccer team, 2-0, off of two second-half penalty kicks. “It was a great game,” head coach Jim Conlon said. “Wheaton is a talented team and they really made us play to our assets.” In the first half, the two unbeaten teams were evenly matched.

Freshman Alyssa Marulli made the biggest play of her collegiate career Sunday, nailing a penalty kick to clinch victory for the women’s soccer team and a Sweet Sixteen berth in the NCAA tournament. The Bears had played Illinois Wesleyan University to a 0-0 tie before going on to beat the Titans 3-1 on penalty kicks after two scoreless overtime periods.
