Badgers drop hard-fought battle

Penn State snubs Wisconsin’s five-game unbeaten streak

UNIVERSITY PARK, Penn. – Wisconsin (6-5-2, 3-2 B1G) traveled to the East Coast for a match in University Park, Pennsylvania against the Penn State Nittany Lions (4-6-2, 2-2-2 B1G). But the Badgers came up short in preserving its five-game unbeaten streak and fell in the late comings of the Big Ten matchup, 1-0. 

The slip-up came late in the match after Penn State earned a corner. The Nittany Lions kept the ball alive in the Badgers' box, bouncing around to a few different players, before finding the back of the net. 

Wisconsin and Penn State were even on shots 9-9, while the Badgers earned the lead in corner kicks, 7-5. Penn State led the charge in shots on goal, 5-1, but also played a very physical, highly-carded match, doubling Wisconsin in fouls, 14-7.

Up Next: The Badgers look to regroup against a very talented Michigan team on Friday at 7 p.m. (CT) under the lights at the McClimon Complex.
