After overcoming a 2–0 deficit on their way to a resounding 6–3 win over Rutgers in the Big Ten Quarterfinals, the No. 2 seed University of Wisconsin men’s soccer team (10-5-2, 6-2 Big Ten) will now head to Grand Park in Indiana for a semi-final matchup with No. 3 seed Michigan (11-4-2, 4-2-2 Big Ten) Friday.
Both teams enter the match following convincing quarterfinal victories, as the Michigan Wolverines booked their semi-final spot by the way of a 3–1 victory over the No. 6 seed Penn State.
The last time the teams met, a mere three weeks ago, the game ended in dramatic fashion as Badger freshman Noah Melick found the back of the net with five minutes to play in the second overtime period to give Wisconsin a 1–0 victory.
