MADISON, Wis. -- Indiana bounced back from a 1-0 deficit and took a 2-1 lead in the second half, but a late goal from Wisconsin and two scoreless overtimes left the Hoosiers and Badgers deadlocked at 2-2 Saturday night at the McClimon Soccer Complex in Madison, Wisconsin.The tie puts IU at 11-2-4 overall and 3-2-2 in Big Ten play. The Hoosiers finish the regular season 7-0-1 in road matches.
A fifth-minute shot from Tanner Thompson had potential but a Wisconsin (3-10-3, 0-6-1 B1G) defender stepped into the ball's path in front of goal to block the attempt. In the 15th minute Dylan Lax found himself open up the middle 25 yards out but his line drive went wide right.
Wisconsin had a 5-2 lead in shots but Indiana had weathered the storm until the 37th minute when the Badgers were awarded a penalty kick. Drew Conner converted the goal. Center back Derek Creviston was injured on the play and had to come out, with Kerel Bradford taking his spot.
Indiana came right back on the attack and netted a pair of corner kicks in the final 20 seconds of play. With the 10-second countdown in effect, Patrick Doody sent in the rebound of one of his corner kicks, finding the head of Matt Foldesy who hit the upper right to knot things at 1-1 with nine seconds left.
It is the second goal of the season for Foldesy, and the fifth assist for Doody, which ties him for the team lead.
Wisconsin held a 6-5 lead in shots with 2 on goal for the Badgers and one for IU.
Femi Hollinger-Janzen was taken down as he went to goal, setting up a free kick for IU at the top of the box 25 yards out. A curling shot from Thompson was punched out by UW goalkeeper Casey Beyers, bouncing harmlessly off the right post.
In the 58th minute, Foldesy had an opportunity to turn and shoot but his shot went over the crossbar. With 28 minutes left in regulation a header from Grant Lillard was cleared off the line after he found the end of Thompson's corner kick.
After coming so close throughout the game, Thompson got his goal in the 64th minute. Taking the ball around his defender, he curled a shot from the left side into the upper 90 on the right for his fifth goal of the year and a 2-1 Indiana lead.
Wisconsin tied things back up in the 72nd minute as Jacob Brindle re-directed a ball in from Adam Lauko. It marks just the third time this season Indiana has given up two goals in a game (UCF, Maryland).
The second Wisconsin goal marked a momentum shift as the Hoosiers struggled to maintain possession after that score.
Andrew Oliver had a shot early in the first overtime that was saved by Beyers. Doody sent in a corner kick from that save that nearly curled into the upper left of the goal. Femi Hollinger-Janzen had a shot in the 98th minute that was easily scooped by Beyers.
Hollinger-Janzen had a shot in the second half but he couldn't get it on frame as it went well over the goal. Thompson had a shot blocked that landed at Foldesy, and his shot was just inches off the mark as the clock ticked down to four minutes left.
Doody sent in a corner kick that was misplayed by Beyers, but the ball somehow bounced down and off the crossbar to go back into play. Doody eventually got another shot off for IU that was saved by Beyers.
Indiana finished with an 18-11 shot advantage, including 4-1 in the second OT period. Just four of the 18 shots were on frame, while Colin Webb was credited with a pair of saves.
The Hoosiers return to Armstrong Stadium to wrap up the regular season as they play host to the Michigan State Spartans on Wednesday, November 5 at 6 p.m. ET. The match will serve as Senior Day.
