At long last, the Wisconsin men’s soccer team won their first home game of the 2015 season, defeating Northwestern 2-1 in a comeback victory on Wednesday night at the McClimon Complex.
In the regular season finale in Madison, the Badgers (5-10-3 overall, 2-3-3 Big Ten) went down 1-0 in the 20th minute following a goal from the Wildcats’ forward Mike Roberge. NU (7-8-2, 4-4-0) went on the counter, and midfielder Joey Calistri played a ball across the face of the goal for Roberge to stab home from close range.
Wisconsin responded five minutes from halftime. After Mike Catalano’s penalty kick was saved, Isaac Schlenker rebounded first and kicked a cross to Luc Kazmierczak, who headed it in the goal for the tie.
