MADISON, Wis. – The Wisconsin men's soccer team fought to another tie in Tulsa, drawing 1-1 with Oral Roberts on Sunday night.
In a heated contest, UW (0-0-2) scored early in the match against ORU (1-0-1) in the 13th minute. Senior
Mark Segbers set up the perfect pass from the right side for fellow senior
Mike Catalano, who banked in the goal to give the Badgers the early 1-0 lead.
Â
However Oral Roberts evened up the score in the 77th minute on a penalty kick goal by Santiago Riveros.
The Badgers fired off 11 shots, including two on goal, in the 110-minute match.
Catalano was a force to be reckoned with after he fired off a team-high four shots on the night. He was followed close behind by fellow seniors Chris Mueller and
Tom Barlow, who had three and two shots, respectively.
Goalkeeper
Philipp Schilling and the defense held down the fort all night as Schilling recorded five saves and the team had two. Freshmen
Alex Alfaro, Braden Callipari and
Patrick Yim each saw valuable minutes in the match.
