Battle of UWs ends in a draw

Badgers grab first tie of the season at Washington

MADISON, Wis. – The eighth-ranked Wisconsin men's soccer team (6-1-1, 1-1-1 Big Ten) made its first trip to Washington since 2005 and played to a 1-1 deadlock on Friday night.
 
How it happened
Playing each other for the first time as Big Ten foes, the defenses led the way. The best early scoring opportunity saw a ball roll loose along the Huskies goal mouth, but Washington was able to clear.
 
UW's first shot came around the 11-minute mark from the head of Dean Boltz after a set piece service bounced around.
 
The Badgers had one of their best chances to score in the 21st minute on a Boltz net drive, but a Washington defender and goalkeeper converged to deflect the ball out of play.

Washington showed a burst with a couple chances in a stretch between the 33rd and 36th minutes, including on a corner kick, but frosh Matisse Hebert was up to the task.
 
Hebert shined again in the 73rd minute, turning aside a Washington bicycle kick attempt.
 
 
The best opportunities of the night came on corners and set pieces, but neither team found the net.
 
Notes to know
  • UW's posted its first draw of the season and first since a 1-1 tie against Penn State at home on Senior Day last Oct. 29.
  • UW played its first scoreless draw since a 0-0 tie against then-No. 23 Indiana on Sept. 15, 2023.
  • Freshman Matisse Hebert posted his fourth shutout of the season which is tied for the Big Ten lead.
