MADISON, Wis. – Three first-half goals got Wisconsin on its way to a 5-0 season-opening victory over Utah Tech on Thursday at McClimon Soccer Complex.
Graduate transfer and tri-captain Matt Chandler put home a rebound off the post on free kick to make it 1-0 in the 15th minute.
Transfer Maxwell Keenan gave the Badgers a 2-0 lead in the 27th minute, taking a feed down the middle, before finishing for his first Badger goal.
Junior Jack Finnegan, who assisted on Keenan’s goal, made it 3-0 in the 41st minute after junior Tim Bielic took a feed near the top of the box and found the forward open to the left of the goal.
A pair of second-half penalty kicks by senior tri-captain Inaki Iribarren finished off the scoring and made it a 5-0 final.
