By Bremen Keasey | Oct. 24, 2018

Lighting struck twice for the Badgers, once again from the boot of Noah Melick. For the second straight game, Melick scored a fantastic strike in double overtime, propelling the Wisconsin Badgers (5-2-0 Big Ten, 8-5-2 overall) to a 2-1 over the Northwestern Wildcats (0-5-3, 4-8-5).

After challenging start, Wisconsin’s youngsters are finding their footing

By Bremen Keasey | Oct. 5, 2018

When sophomore defender Patrick Yim’s scored a second-half goal to pull Wisconsin within a goal of the No. 2 Indiana Hoosiers, it put the Badgers in an unfamiliar spot — going toe-to-toe with a national powerhouse in the closing minutes of a game. Wisconsin put pressure on a national title contender and gave clear proof of concept to an inexperienced and young team that they can hang with the best teams in the country.

The chippy game at DeMartin Stadium on Sunday afternoon started with two corners for the Badgers in the first two minutes, showing an aggressiveness that was missing for UW earlier in the year.
