BADGERS, TERRAPINS SET FOR BIG TEN CHAMPIONSHIP REMATCH Friday night’s match will not be a normal matchup. It will be a rematch of the 2016 Big Ten Tournament Championship and it will be a game of revenge for the Wisconsin men’s soccer team (7-2-3 overall, 3-1-1 Big Ten) as it takes on third-ranked Maryland (9-0-3, 4-0-2) in the last regularseason home game of the season. In what was both the most exciting and gut-wrenching contest of the season, the Badgers fell 2-1 in the Big Ten Championship to Maryland. Tom Barlow had the lone goal for Wisconsin off of a lobbed ball through two defenders from Chris Mueller.
LAST TIME OUT: MARQUETTE, MSU
Senior Chris Mueller has earned two Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week accolades, the most recent on Oct. 10
Wisconsin dominated Marquette on its home turf, 3-0 on Wednesday. Tom Barlow, Chris Mueller and Elan Koenig each found the back of the net. It was Koenig’s second game in a row scoring. Mueller extended a three-game scoring streak as he scored the lone goal against No. 1-ranked (RPI) Michigan State in UW’s 1-1 draw on Saturday night. It was the first time Michigan State did not score first against a Big Ten opponent.
SENIOR CELEBRATION Wisconsin will celebrate the illustrious careers of its seven seniors: Tom Barlow, Mike Catalano, Alex Masbruch, Chris Mueller, Adrian Remeniuk, Mark Segbers and Philipp Schilling. Among the seven they have 26 wins, seven preseason All-Big Ten honors, four Academic All-Big Ten honors, three Big Ten Player of the Week accolades, three All-Big Ten Freshmen team honorees, two AllBig Ten second team honorees and one first-team All-Big Ten, first-team Midwest All-Region and third-team NSCAA All-American. All seven played a role in helping the Badgers to become Big Ten regular-season and tournament runner-ups in 2016.
KEY NOTES TO CONSIDER The team was listed as one of the “Highly Motivated Teams” of 2017. The Badgers also began the year ranked 25th in the first College Soccer News national poll. Chris Mueller was named to the MAC Herman Trophy watch list. He is the first Badger to be named to College Soccer’s equivalent to the Heisman Trophy since AJ Cochran made the list in 2013. Mike Catalano, Christopher Mueller and Philipp Schilling were each named to the league’s preseason honors list, while the Badgers were predicted to finish third in the conference standings.

TV TIME The Badgers have performed well in the spotlight this year. UW is 2-0 when on TV games, picking up a 3-1 win over Northwestern and a 3-2 win over Rutgers on the Big Ten Network.
HARD TO TOP AT HOME Wisconsin has dominated the pitch when playing on home turf at the McClimon Soccer Complex. The Badgers soared to a pinnacle 9-0-1 undefeated mark in the 2016 season. This year, the Badgers have continued that already-impressive mark, raising the mark to a 20-game unbeaten streak, with 16 wins in that stretch. The Badgers earned notable wins over Michigan and Ohio State a season ago, as well as a key tie to an excellent Indiana team, 0-0. On the tails of a promise a season ago, the Badgers look again to protect their house from losses in the 2017 season. Wisconsin invites powerful opponents onto their pitch this season, including perennial powerhouse Maryland. The Badgers tied Michigan State at home, who was ranked No. 1 in the RPI at the time. The McClimon Complex is gaining quite the reputation for home-field advantage thanks in part to senior goalkeeper Philipp Schilling. He’s has helped Wisconsin defend its 20-game home unbeaten streak and has only allowed four goals in seven home games.

SENIOR SUCCESS Wisconsin will celebrate the illustrious careers of its seven seniors: Tom Barlow, Mike Catalano, Alex Masbruch, Chris Mueller, Adrian Remeniuk, Mark Segbers and Philipp Schilling. MSOC
Among the seven they have 26 wins, seven preseason All-Big Ten honors, four Academic All-Big Ten honors, three Big Ten Player of the Week accolades, three All-Big Ten Freshmen team honorees, two All-Big Ten second team honorees and one first-team All-Big Ten, first-team Midwest All-Region and third-team NSCAA All-American. All seven played a role in helping the Badgers to become Big Ten regular-season and tournament runner-ups in 2016. They have also all been a key part of Wisconsin’s 20-game home unbeaten streak.
MUELLER THE MAGNIFICENT Wisconsin’s 2016-17 All-American Chris Mueller hasn’t slowed pace this season. The senior is on a tear, earning multiple spots in the top-10 statistcally in the NCAA. Mueller leads the Big Ten conference in shots (51), shots per game (4.25), goals (6), goals per game (0.5), assists (10), assists per game (0.83), points (22) and points per game (1.83). He earned his second Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week award after leading Wisconsin to the 3-0 blanking of Marquette and the 1-1 tie with No. 6 Michigan State. He contributed to every goal the Badgers scored over the weekend with two goals and two assists tallying six points. He has had either a goal or an assist in eight of 12 games this season.
ATHLETE OF THE MONTH Philipp Schilling, a senior from Schwegenheim, Germany, has been dubbed by head coach John Trask as a program changer. He was named the Athlete of the Month by the Student-Athlete development department at UW. The captain has made a difference on the team since the second he stepped on campus last year. In addition to playing 31 games, nearly 3,000 minutes, recording shutouts and holding a 0.90 goals-against average, Schilling has racked up many community service hours with Badgers Give Back. Phil is a leader in all areas of student-athlete life. He is an active member of SAESO — spearheading the “Badgers Beyond Borders” affiliate group and serving as the student-athlete representative for the Diversity Integration Group within Athletics. He is extremely reliable and embodies the idea of engagement within the athletic community.
QUITE THE COMBO Wisconsin’s heart and soul in the midfield, senior Mike Catalano is having himself another year. Joining him, fellow senior Tom Barlow is putting up equally impressive numbers. Both seniors rank second on the team with five goals apiece. Four of Barlow’s goals have been gamewinners. Barlow has 14 points, while Catalano is close behind with 10. Barlow ranks second on the team with 28 shots and 13 shots on goal, while Catalano follows close behind with 24 shots and nine shots on goal.

It was Mueller’s 11th assist of the year. Freshman Noah Leibold was also credited with the assist, his second of the season. The Badgers had plenty of chances on the Maryland net in the second half, including two efforts from junior Mike Catalano that were saved by the Big Ten Goalkeeper of the Year, Cody Niedermeier.

Through six seasons as head coach of the Wisconsin men’s soccer program, John Trask has revived with the enthusiasm and excitement that once made the program a perennial Big Ten and NCAA title contender. A fixture at the highest levels of national and international soccer for nearly two decades, Trask came to Wisconsin in 2010 with the goal of returning the program to the elite ranks of college soccer. He delivered on that promise in just his fourth year, guiding Wisconsin in 2013 to its first NCAA tournament berth in 18 years and its first postseason win since its national title team in 1995. In the process, Trask also helped the Badgers extend what at that time was the longest home unbeaten streak in the country (14), including UW defeating Milwaukee in the first NCAA tournament men’s soccer game played at the McClimon Complex in nearly two decades. A native of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Trask led UW to 14 victories in 2013, which marked the most in Madison since the team won 20 in 1995. With a reputation for developing talented young men into elite soccer players, Trask also helped a pair of upperclassmen make history in 2013. Tomislav Zadro (Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year) and AJ Cochran (Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year) became the first duo from the same team to sweep the coveted conference awards. After earning NSCAA All-American honors and becoming the first MACC Hermann Trophy semifinalist in UW history, Cochran went on to become the first Wisconsin player selected in the 2014 MLS SuperDraft since 2005, and the first player selected in the first round since Mike Gentile (1995). Trask has established a solid foundation in Madison with the development of young talent. At least one Badger has been named to the Big Ten All-Freshman team in six straight seasons under Trask. Sam Brotherton continued that streak of All-Big Ten Freshman Badgers in 2015, earning selection following a strong debut campaign in Madison. Brotherton went on to earn his first international cap with New Zealand and even started for the All Whites at the 2016 OFC Nations Cup. In 2014, Trask took a young squad of Badgers and developed the team into a group that fought throughout the season and contended with some of the top competition in the country. Perhaps no one benefitted more from the coaching than newcomers Tom Barlow, Mike Catalano and Mark Segbers, who were each named to the 2014 Big Ten All-Freshman Team. Trask led Wisconsin to a 10-win season and a semifinal finish at the Big Ten tournament in 2011. The 10-win season marks the most wins for the Badgers since 2003 when they finished 11-10-1. In Trask’s second season, UW also captured its first true victory at the conference tournament with a 2-0 shutout of Michigan in the first round. One of the highlights of the 2011 campaign came on Oct. 2 when Wisconsin handed then-No.6 Indiana its first loss of the season, marking the first Wisconsin victory over the Hoosiers in 16 years. The Badgers wrapped up their first season under Trask with a semifinal finish at the 2010 Big Ten Tournament. After advancing past defending Big Ten champion Ohio State on penalty kicks in the opening round, Wisconsin fell to eventual Big Ten champion and NCAA College Cup semifinalist Michigan, 1-0, in the semifinal round. UW posted a 4-13-3 overall record for 2010 but went 3-2-1 over its last six games in Trask’s first season. Widely regarded as one of the top coaches in the game, Trask spent five seasons as head coach at the University of Illinois at Chicago before joining the Badgers. He brought 14 years of collegiate coaching experience - along with five seasons spent in Major League Soccer ranks - to Madison. Trask developed the UIC program into a powerhouse that claimed three Horizon League championships and qualified for NCAA tournament play each season from 2006 to 2008. Over that span, Trask’s teams posted a record of 38-13-17 (.648) -- including an amazing 8-2-1 mark in road games against ranked opponents. Also in those three seasons, Trask mentored four All-Americans and six players that earned All-Great Lakes Region honors from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. He earned Horizon League Coach of the Year honors after leading the Flames to a regular-season conference title and berth in the second round of the NCAA tournament in 2006, a season in which UIC went 13-3-5 and finished with a stellar 0.36 goals-against average that ranks as the fourth-best singleseason mark in NCAA history. Trask followed that with another NCAA berth in 2007, as the Flames won the Horizon League tournament title and advanced to the school’s first-ever Elite Eight by winning three-consecutive road games on the way to a No. 10 national ranking at season’s end. The Flames won another regular-season Horizon League title and returned to the NCAA Sweet 16 in 2008, a season in which UIC put together a 12-match unbeaten streak and ascended to a No. 4 national ranking. Prior to his return to the college game, Trask spent five seasons as an assistant coach with three Major League Soccer clubs. He spent two seasons with the now-defunct Miami Fusion, which advanced to the final of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup in his first season before playing its way into the semifinals of the MLS Playoffs in 2001. Trask then spent two seasons with D.C. United before coaching with FC Dallas in 2004. No stranger to the Big Ten Conference, Trask’s time in professional soccer came after nine years on the coaching staff at his alma mater, Indiana University. In that time, the Hoosiers won eight Big Ten titles, advanced to the NCAA College Cup five times and won back-to-back national titles in 1998 and 1999. A four-year letterwinner for the Hoosiers from 1984-1987, Trask earned a bachelor’s degree in management and a master’s degree in kinesiology from Indiana. A native of Milwaukee, Trask was married to his wife, Jela, in February 2008. The couple has a son, Jack. WISCONSIN MEN’S SOCCER 2017

MCCLIMON SOCCER COMPLEX
S
itting on the shores of Lake Mendota in the Medical District at the University of Wisconsin, the Dan McClimon Memorial Track/Soccer Complex and state-of-the-art training facility located just to the west allow studentathletes to train and play on a beautiful natural grass surface.
.The field maintenance staff who oversees University Ridge Golf Course, as well as the training facility at U-Bay and McClimon Complex, follows a strict maintenance program to keep the field in pristine condition. The surfaces of both the training facility are cut at a length of 3/4 inch to promote excellent quality of play for all soccer players. Prior to the start of the 2013 season, significant upgrades at both the training facility (installation of irrigation system) and new natural grass turf at McClimon were completed. Stadium upgrades include semi-permanent bleachers along the east side of the field, allowing fans to get close to all the action. World Cup style signage surrounding the field allows players and spectators alike to enjoy match day at McClimon. General bleacher seating is available with capacity of more than 2,000 fans. The 2013 season saw some exciting soccer, culminating with the return of the Badgers men’s team to the NCAA tournament for the first time in 18 years. For fan ease of access, a large parking area is available just north of the complex with free parking on weekends and after working hours on weekdays. The McClimon Complex is also one of the nation’s toughest venues for visitors, as of late. The Badger men’s team entered the 2014 season with a 14-match unbeaten streak. They now hold an 11-match unbeaten streak, dating back to the 2015 season. The Dave McClain Athletic Facility serves as the year-round home for a number of University of Wisconsin teams, including men’s and women’s soccer. The facility, renovated in 2013, offers a climate-controlled indoor training space, locker rooms, sports medicine center and strength and conditioning facilities. Opened in 1988 at a cost of $9.5 million, the McClain Center has undergone an extensive renovation as part of the $86 million Student-Athlete Performance Center project undertaken by UW Athletics to provide first-class facilities for the Badgers. The centerpiece of the McClain Center is a 76,000-square foot main floor that features a 90-yard practice field utilized by a variety of UW athletic programs. The practice area was re-surfaced in 2013 with the installation of the most advanced playing surface offered by FieldTurf. The modernized lower level is primarily comprised of locker rooms, including newly expanded team suites for the UW soccer programs. In addition to the locker room area, each soccer program also has its own team lounge and access to large team meeting rooms. The new strength and conditioning center is a 6,000-square foot space that offers a full range of strength training equipment, in addition to a dedicated cardio area and a performance station featuring fresh fruit and nutritional drinks for use in recovery after workouts. The renovated weight room located adjacent to the McClain Center in Camp Randall Stadium is a 17,000-square foot space that can accommodate as much as the entire UW football 120-man roster for simultaneous workouts. In addition to the latest in weight training equipment custom-built for the Badgers, the strength and conditioning center features a dedicated cardio and warm-up area. Located within the Camp Randall strength and conditioning center is the expansive Performance Nutrition area that offers fresh fruit, power drinks and a station for making recovery shakes.
