The gallery has exploded to over 3,800 photos, with a massive 2,300+ added in April 2025. Every shot tells a story, but some stories are pure drama.
Such a story was the clash between the Wisconsin Badgers Women’s Soccer team and Rutgers on October 29, 2023, at the McClimon Soccer Complex in Madison. Two overtimes. No winner. No surrender going into the Penalty Shootout. Relive the raw emotion, fierce determination, and the pulse of the game in pictures.
Under a steel-gray sky, with flurries of snow drifting through the cold air, the field was set for a battle of grit and heart. The match stretched through double overtime, tension rising with every minute, until it all came down to a nerve-shredding penalty shootout. It's never just a game at McClimon is it.
