Wisconsin men’s soccer head coach John Trask knew there was a lot of work for his team this season. After replacing seven starters from last season’s Big Ten title winning team including all four senior strikers, the Badgers are off to a reasonable 2-3-1 start heading into their first Big Ten test against the No. 2 Indiana Hoosiers (5-0-1). “It takes time to build a good soccer team,” Trask said.


Despite a big game for sophomore Jonathan Taylor, the Badgers fell to Penn State 22-10.
