Purdue Fort Wayne's Seth Mahlmeister put three shots on goal in the second half but was turned away each time. Luke Morrell and Soshi Fujioka also took shots on goal for the 'Dons.
The only goal of the game came in the 50th minute. Max Keenan sent a cross into the box to find Mitchell Dryden on the other end to head it in and provide Wisconsin the deciding goal.
The 'Dons went deep into their bench on Thursday with 20 total players seeing action.
