The Badgers travel to Indiana on Tuesday and host Penn State on Saturday

MADISON, Wis. - The Wisconsin men's soccer team (5-6-0, 2-4-0 Big Ten) will travel to Bloomington to face the No. 14 Indiana Hoosiers (10-3-1, 3-3-0 Big Ten) on Tuesday, Oct. 21. Kickoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. CT, and the game airs on Big Ten Network. On Saturday, Oct. 25, the Badgers will host Penn State (5-6-3, 1-4-2 Big Ten) with kickoff set for 7 p.m. CT. Saturday's match is Senior Night at McClimon. 

Here are five things to know about this week's matches:

1 – WALK DOWN MEMORY LANE – Wisconsin celebrated both the win over Michigan State and the 30 year anniversary of the 1995 NCAA Championship last Friday night. Over 20 alumni came back to McClimon, including five members of the 1995 team. The Badgers felt the support, shutting down the Spartans in a 2-0 victory. 

2 – SHRIVERS IMPRESSES – Redshirt freshman Luke Shrivers made his first career game memorable with his performance against Michigan State. The keeper earned his first shutout, making five saves in the contest. The Spartans tried to get a late goal, but Shrivers made a diving stop in the 79th minute to keep them off the board. 

3 – SENIOR SPECIAL – Saturday's game against Penn State is Senior Night at McClimon Soccer Complex. Wisconsin will recognize six seniors before the match: forwards Sam Green, Bart Muns, and Thomas Raimbault; midfielders Alejandro Coury and Ola Arntsen; and defender Wade Stinson

4 – SCOUTING THE OPPONENTS – Wisconsin trails 5-44-10 in the all-time series against Indiana, most recently winning in 2013, 4-3. The Hoosiers have the most overall wins in the conference with 10, but they are sixth in the Big Ten standings. IU is also 3-0-1 in games against ranked opponents. The Badgers will be tasked with shutting down senior Palmer Ault, who leads the NCAA in points with 33 (14 goals, 5 assists). 

UW trails 14-22-4 in the all-time series against Penn State. The Badgers took down the Nittany Lions, 2-0, when the two teams met in Pennsylvania last season. PSU is led offensively by midfielder Ben Madore. The redshirt sophomore has posted 11 points (5 goals, 1 assist) through 14 games played.
