Men’s Soccer: Badgers drop second straight conference game, barely escape with draw

The Wisconsin men’s soccer team (2-9-2, 0-3-1 Big Ten) was in a world of trouble entering Friday’s match versus Rutgers (7-3-3, 1-3-1), needing a win to stabilize a season overshadowed by offensive inconsistency and poor results.

Earning a victory Friday would have gone a long way in catalyzing momentum for the Badgers as the season begins to wind down, providing a positive as the Big Ten tournament looms.

The Scarlet Knights, however, had other plans. Rutgers — despite earning four yellow cards and failing to see many attacking opportunities — broke the Badgers when it mattered most, sealing a 3–0 win with two closing goals in the 87th and 90th minutes.
