EVANSTON, Ill. –– Northwestern Men's Soccer will celebrate its twelve seniors (Christian Garner, Ethan Dudley, Bardia Kimiavi, Andrew Stevens, Vicente Castro, Eric Smits, Logan Weaver, Alex Gordon, Jack Ratterman, Jayson Cyrus, Deng Deng Kur, and Kevin Klausz) when it takes the field at Martin Stadium on Sunday. The Wildcats (2-7-5, 0-4-2) will take on Wisconsin (4-6-3, 1-4-1) with a spot in the Big Ten Tournament potentially on the line.

In the 57th minute, Ethan Dudley fired a shot at the Milwaukee goalkeeper, who was unable to corral the rebound. Joseph Arena pounced on the loose ball and headed it home to equalize.

The 1-1 stalemate held for the remainder of the game.
