No contest: Weather stops Wisconsin (up 3-0) against No. 11 Hurricane

Finnegan pair, Iribarren goal, Abbott saves erased by severe weather
MADISON, Wis. – Thunder storms were all that could stop the Wisconsin men's soccer team on Sunday at McClimon Soccer Complex. The Badgers, up 3-0, got within 75 seconds from an official victory over No. 11 Tulsa, but the untimely appearance of lightning halted the action for good.
Â
It officially goes down as a no contest after the teams played 68:15 of the required 70 minutes to make it count.
A scoreless first half played out, then a nine-minute stretch in the second half broke open the game for the Badgers.
Junior Jack Finnegan ran onto a clear from freshman Drew Brown and past the Tulsa defense before finishing in the 53rd minute.
Â
Working with teammate Michael Wampler to pressure the Tulsa defense after a goal kick, Finnegan stole a goalkeeper pass and made it 2-0.
Â
Senior Inaki Iribarren got his head on Aron Saevarsson's corner kick to put UW up 3-0 in the 62nd minute.
Â
The lightning came six minutes later.
Goalkeeper Carter Abbott, fresh off a season-opening clean sheet, made three big stops in the second half to keep the Golden Hurricane off the board.
STRAIGHT FROM THE PITCH - HEAD COACH NEIL JONES
"I couldn't be prouder of our group today for their effort against an excellent Tulsa team. While the result doesn't stand, we can learn a lot from this game. I'm extremely disappointed we couldn't find a way to complete the game, but we move on to Milwaukee on Thursday, which will be another great test."

Wisconsin (1-0-0) heads cross state to open a three-game road stretch and take on Milwaukee on Thursday at 7 p.m.
