Badgers sports: Christopher Mueller scores with 1 second left to give UW first win

When Christopher Mueller waits until the last second to get something done, he literally waits until the last second.

The University of Wisconsin sophomore scored with 1 second left in the second overtime on Friday night to lift the Badgers over Rutgers 1-0 in Piscataway, New Jersey, for their first victory of the season.

Mueller took a pass from Drew Connor and initiated a give-and-go with Tom Barlow, then beat Rutgers goalkeeper David Greczek with a sliding strike to notch the first goal of his Badgers career.

Mueller's shot, which came from about 15 yards out with a defender sliding along with him, clanged off of the crossbar and the left goalpost before making its way into the net just before the game ended in a scoreless draw.
