In what has been a disappointing season, the Wisconsin men’s soccer team (2-10-3, 0-4-2) showed improvement on the road in last week’s tie against Michigan (7-4-4, 2-1-3).
After a first half that didn’t see any fireworks, play escalated in the 74th minute after Michigan scored the opening goal. Wisconsin responded in no time after senior captain Noah Leibold netted a penalty kick goal — his second total goal of the year. Leibold’s contribution concluded the offensive scoring for the night, resulting in a tie.
In the last week of the season, the Badgers undergo two critical Big Ten matchups, the first of which will be their last home game of the season against Northwestern on Wednesday.
