On Saturday, the Wisconsin Badgers men’s soccer team dropped a heart breaker, falling to Penn State 1-0 in State College.
The breakthrough for the Nittany Lions didn’t come until late, as the home side was held scoreless for the first 86 minutes of the contest. However, a Badger defense that had faced 18 shots in a “bend don’t break” game against one of the conferences’ top teams eventually faltered, conceding a late penalty. Once at the spot, senior midfielder Pierre Reedy made no mistake, calmly slotting home the game winner from twelve yards out.
One notable bright spot came in the dying moments of the match for Wisconsin, when another penalty was given and Reedy looked poised to double the Nittany Lion lead.
