Van Cleef’s Overtime Deflection Lifts #6 Iowa Past #15 Michigan

Fréderique van Cleef’s golden goal gave #6 Iowa a 2-1 overtime win at #15 Michigan on Friday, after an official review wiped out what would have been a Wolverines winner. The Hawkeyes improved to 10-1 overall and 2-1 in the Big Ten, while Michigan fell to 5-4 and 1-2 in its Big Ten home opener at Phyllis Ocker Field.

The decisive sequence came in the extra period. Esmée de Willigen redirected a ball from Cami Wiseman into the cage, but the goal was waved off after review. Iowa then won it, with van Cleef deflecting a ball from Dionne van Aalsum for her 15th goal of the season.
