MADISON, Wis. – The No. 17 Wisconsin Badgers men's soccer game against the Vitero V-Hawks ended at halftime as thunderstorms rolled through the area.

The Badgers just scored their second goal of the game before lightning touched by nearby and players took cover.

Dean Boltz scored on a cross into the box from Birgir Baldvinsson in the seventh minute to open the scoring.

7' | GOAL: If you had to pick one player to open the scoring, you'd probably pick Dean Boltz and you'd be RIGHT.
