After an overtime victory at Ludwig Field on Monday over No. 9 St. John’s, Maryland men’s soccer (4-3, 0-1 Big Ten) will make the trek to Madison to face the Wisconsin Badgers in its second Big Ten match of the season on Friday night.
Last Monday’s match was a return to form for head coach Sasho Cirovski’s defense, which shut out the No. 11-ranked scoring offense in the country after it allowed a defensive-oriented Northwestern team to score three goals, matching its single-season goal total, two days prior.
But a stout defensive performance fueled by a slight formation change has the talented Terp back line back on track.
