MADISON, Wis. - The Wisconsin men's soccer team dropped a heartbreaking 2-1 overtime contest to Big Ten Conference rival Michigan State on Sunday at the McClimon Soccer Complex.

In a nationally televised game, Wisconsin (2-8-1, 0-2-1) overcame a first-half deficit to tie the game at 1-1 but the Spartans (2-6-2, 2-1-0) scored in the 94th minute of the match.
