The University of Wisconsin men’s soccer team (6-6-4, 3-4-1 Big Ten) lost to the Rutgers Scarlet Knights (8-4-6, 4-2-2) 5–4 on penalty kicks in the first round of the Big Ten tournament Friday in New Jersey.
The game was 0–0 through regular time and a 20-minute overtime period, but ended in favor of Rutgers in the penalty shootout. It marks the end of Wisconsin’s first season under head coach Neil Jones.
“Tonight was a cagey match between two quality teams,” Badgers head coach Neil Jones said in a game recap.
