Another home game, another win for the University of Wisconsin-Madison men’s soccer team as they took down UW-Milwaukee at home Tuesday night, 3-0.
The victory finishes off the season series against in-state opponents, completing the Badgers’ sweep with wins of 1-0 over Marquette University and 3-0 over UW-Green Bay earlier this year.
The 3-0-0 record is a big improvement over last season when the Badgers went 1-1-1 against the same three opponents, which proved to hurt the squad come conference play.
For most of the first half Tuesday’s game, the UW-Milwaukee Panthers (6-6-2, 3-2-1 Horizon) kept pressure on the defensive front of the Badgers (8-3-2, 3-2-1 Big Ten), pushing the ball forward and challenging the possession of the defenders.
