\"12\"Waseda\u2019s Women\u2019s Football Club has been unable to win at the Kansai Round Tournament in recent years. However, the club gained great momentum after toppling veteran Kibi International University in the first round of the 24th<\/sup>\u00a0All Japan University Women\u2019s Football Tournament. Upon returning to Tokyo, the club faced off against rival Nippon Sport Science University in the tournament\u2019s semifinals. Waseda was down two points in the first half of the match but came back to score two points, ending the match in a 2-2 draw. Waseda\u2019s record allowed them to proceed to the finals where they faced off against Kanagawa University. The match was tied in the second half until forward Juri Kawano\u00a0headed a corner kick from midfielder Tomo Matsukawa\u00a0into the opposing team\u2019s goal to clutch victory.<\/p>\n
