Penn State men’s soccer defeated Wisconsin 2-0 on Sunday to secure the Big Ten’s regular-season title.

The Nittany Lions were powered by a brace from captain midfielder Seth Kuhn. Both goals were beautiful, left-footed curlers, but the second landed at No. 7 on SportsCenter’s Top 10 Plays.

Penn State had a precarious 1-0 lead with under 10 minutes to play, knowing that a Wisconsin goal would put its title chances in jeopardy. Andrew Privett played an unassuming pass to Kuhn down the right wing, and a moment of magic steered the ball into the top left corner, past the diving Carter Abbott.

The Nittany Lions held on to earn the 2-0 victory, clinching the conference championship as Indiana simultaneously lost to Maryland in College Park. Jeff Cook’s squad was welcomed back to State College on Sunday night with a raucous reception from the Park Avenue Army.

Penn State earned the No. 1 seed in the upcoming Big Ten Tournament and will face No. 8 Michigan State at 4 p.m. on Sunday, November 7. The match will play on the Big Ten Network.
