The University of Wisconsin men’s soccer team will take the field Tuesday at McClimon Soccer Complex for their second-to-last game of the season against Western Illinois University. The Badgers (8-3-3, 3-2-2 Big Ten) will face off against the Fighting Leathernecks (6-7-1, 2-2-0 Summit) in the last non-conference game of the regular season before hosting Ohio State University to close the year.
After playing to a draw on Friday night against No. 4 Indiana University, the Badgers lost the chance to end the home season with a perfect home record of 9-0-0. The chance to remain undefeated at home and end the season with a home record of 8-0-1 now becomes the main goal, as wins in the last two games will provide momentum into the conference tournament.
