Tom Barlow had a goal and an assist as the No. 20 University of Wisconsin men's soccer team scored three times in the second half to defeat Ohio State 3-0 in a Big Ten Conference tournament quarterfinal game on Sunday at the McClimon Complex.

Barlow, a junior forward, scored his fourth goal of the season in the 53rd minute to break a scoreless tie. Freshman defender Elan Koenig notched his first goal as a Badger 3½ minutes later, and Barlow set up Christopher Mueller for the junior midfielder/forward's team-leading seventh goal of the season in the 80th minute.

"At the end of the day, we're trying to win a Big Ten championship," Koenig said. "This was the first step and I think if we keep putting in performances like this, it's looking good."

The Badgers (11-3-3, 4-2-2 Big Ten) outshot the Buckeyes 8-2 in the first half, but didn't have anything to show for it. UW's best scoring chance came when Koenig sent a pass into the box for Barlow, whose header was turned away by Ohio State goalkeeper Parker Sigfried.

The Badgers only registered six shots in the second half, but put three of them into the net.
