ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The University of Michigan women's soccer team ended a two-game losing skid and picked up some momentum heading into the upcoming Big Ten Conference Tournament with 1-0 last-second victory over Kentucky on Senior Day.
The game appeared to be heading to overtime until Amber Berendowsky (Brighton, Mich./Brighton HS) launched a perfectly placed shot from 15 yards out to the upper left hand corner of the net just out of the reach of Kentucky keeper Carrie Kuhnell with just five seconds remaining.
Michigan's Carissa Stewart (Topsham, Maine/Mt. Ararat HS) made three saves in goal in picking up her third shutout of the season.
The Wolverines close the regular season with a 12-5-1 record and head into the Big Ten Conference Tournament next weekend as the No. 5 seed. Michigan will open action Friday morning (Nov. 6) against No. 4 seed Northwestern at 11:30 a.m. in State College, Pa.
