The University of Wisconsin men’s soccer team entered Saturday’s game against conference opponent Penn State looking for positives to take into the Big Ten tournament, which they must win in order to secure a bid to the NCAA Tournament. Although the Badgers never quit on the match, the game was never as close as the final scoreline, with the Nittany Lions claiming a 2–1 victory to remain perfect on the road in 2019.
Penn State (8-2-2, 4-1-1 Big Ten) jumped on the Badgers from the kickoff, winning the time of possession battle and drawing more shot opportunities than Wisconsin (2-10-2, 0-4-1) could manage.
