MADISON, Wis. – After capturing their first road victory of the season the Wisconsin men's soccer team (5-4-5, 2-2-3 Big Ten) returns to Madison to play their final two regular season matches at home. The first of those matches takes place against Milwaukee (4-7-3, 2-4-1 Horizon) in the teams' annual in-state rivalry match on Tuesday.
Here's what you need to know.
1 – Breast Cancer Awareness – Tuesday is Wisconsin's Breast Cancer Awareness game. Three breast cancer survivors will be honored before the game, with each receiving a team-signed ball from head coach Neil Jones. Doctors and medical professionals will also be recognized during halftime of the match. All fans are encouraged to wear pink to the match to show their support.
2 – Shutout Season – Wisconsin picked up its seventh shutout of the season last time out against Ohio State in a 1-0 win. The Badgers are tied for first in the conference in total shutouts and are tied for ninth in the nation. Keeper Nate Crockford has been in net for all seven shutouts, giving him the conference lead. He's saved 15 shots in those seven games.
3 – Mitchell's Moves – Mitchell Dryden tied his single-season high in goals last match, scoring his third of the year against Ohio State. Not only does that give him the team lead, but all three of his goals on the season have won games. He also scored the go-ahead goals in the Badgers' first match against Purdue-Fort Wayne and in the team's upset over No. 2 Kentucky.
3 – Hail to the Keefe – Ryan Keefe is the only active Badger player to play in the program's last two matches against Milwaukee. Keefe has also been performing great for the Badger's lately, scoring a goal against Bradley in the team's last home game, and coming up with a brilliant, two-block defensive sequence against Ohio State.
4 – Prowling the Panthers – UW leads the all-time series against Milwaukee 20-16-9, having played each other every year going back to 1977. The Panthers sit at 4-7-3, but they can be a tough team to defend, with multiple three-goal games. They have two double-digit point scorers in Raul Medina (3-5-11) and Bienvenu Djunga (4-2-10).
Extra Time – The game will be live streamed on the B1G+ app, and on the web at bigtenplus.com. Look for live updates on the @BadgerMSoccer X (formerly twitter) page, and @badgermsoccer on Instagram.
Admission is free for all at McClimon Soccer Complex on Tuesday for the 7 p.m. kickoff.
Up Next – The Badgers finish off the regular season at home against current conference co-leaders in Penn State. The Badger seniors will be honored prior to the game for Senior Day. Kickoff will be Sunday, Oct. 29, at 11:30 a.m., a time that recently changed.
