The Cougars of Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville pounced on the dismal performance of the Badgers, leaving Madison with a 2-0 victory Tuesday night.
Wisconsin never recovered from going down 1-0 right before the intermission, and the Badgers fall to 2-5-0 on the season with a tough test against Big Ten soccer powerhouse Maryland on Sunday.
Wisconsin Player of the Game: Drew Conner
The senior captain had one of his better outings of the season in spite of the lackluster display of the rest of the team. Conner did well to pull the strings in the midfield, always acting as the orchestrator to any UW attack.
