9/1/2019 10:09:00 PM | Men's Soccer
MADISON, Wisc. – UAB men's soccer rallied in the second half but came up short in a 2-1 loss to Wisconsin on Sunday night.
Wisconsin got on the board early in the match off a free kick in the fourth minute from Noah Leibold. Despite the Badgers lead it was the Blazers who outshot their opponent 8-4 in the first half. Grayson Dupont, Guillermo Rodriguez, Blake White, and Krenar Krasniqi each had shots on goal in the half.
In the 59thminute of the second half the Blazers faced another setback as Rodriguez was issued a red card disqualifying him from the match. Minutes later Wisconsin capitalized on the man advantage with a second goal to put the Badgers up 2-0.
The Blazers struck back in the 74thminute as Dupont sent a cross from Krasniqi into the back of the net for his second goal of the season, cutting the Badger lead to 2-1.
The score would hold for Wisconsin despite UAB leading the shot on goal count 5-3.
UAB returns to action at home against Mercer on Friday, Sept. 6 at 7 p.m. in the Soccer for a Cure Classic.
