Wisconsin hung in to the bitter end, but ultimately couldn’t generate enough offense to keep its hopes of a Big Ten tournament alive.
The Badgers entered Saturday’s road contest with recent success away from home, going 4-1-1 in their last six road games, but were unable to get anything going in a 1-0 loss to Indiana (3-3-1 Big Ten, 10-4-2). Wisconsin (1-3-3, 4-10-3) was outshot 17-5 on the day, including a 7-1 deficit in shots on goal, as its two-game point streak was snapped.
Despite what appeared to be a lost year at the beginning of the season, the Badgers enter their final two contests with a considerable amount still on the line.
Although Wisconsin started a three-game road trip Wednesday night, one Badger felt right at home. Early into the second overtime period, sophomore forward and St. Louis native Tom Barlow sent in the game-winner for Wisconsin (1-1-2 Big Ten, 3-8-2 overall) against the St. Louis Bilikens (0-1-2 Atlantic 10, 4-5-2 overall).
Having finally earned their first point at home thanks to a 0-0 draw against Michigan St., the Badgers (1-1-2 Big Ten, 2-8-2 overall) will now head back out on a three-game road trip starting in St.
Coming off a strong performance in a road conference battle, the Badgers (1-1-1 Big Ten, 2-8-1 overall) came back home to once again struggle to find the back of the net.
For the second consecutive contest, the offense put on an impressive showing, though once again it was not enough to get the win.
The Badgers (1-1-0 Big Ten, 2-6-0 overall) will close out their three-game homestand Wednesday still searching for their first win in Madison this season. To do that, they’ll have to beat in-state rival Green Bay (0-1-1 Horizon, 1-5-2) for the third straight time.
Riding high on a two-game winning streak, the Badgers looked to keep the positive momentum going to start a three-game home stand. But it was the Southern Illinois University Edwardsville Cougars (0-0-0, Missouri Valley Conference, 4-2-1 overall) who came out with more energy for most of the night, as they defeated Wisconsin (1-0-0 Big Ten, 2-5-0 overall) 2-0.
