Live Stats | Watch Live
1:56 - Just to elaborate on the weird weather comment...today started off dry, moved to rain, then stopped raining before downpouring during warmups and now the sun is trying to poke through. Sounds like it'll be off + on showers throughout the game, but who really knows on a day like today. It's definitely chilly, with temps in the low 50's forecasted as the high. Breezy too.
1:55 - Here are the starters for both squads. Milwaukee will go with their "normal" lineup...Paige in net, Al, Kelly Manski, Caity and Amy in back, Stern, Kelsey, Morgan + V in the middle and Krissy and Kelly Lewers up top.
Wright State counters with McCurdy in net with Gogolin, Fillion, Umotong, Thompson, Soto, Hamilton, Gross, Metzler, Wilson and Sedlock.
1:45 - Hello and welcome from a weird-weather day in Dayton, Ohio. I'll have updates here but you can also watch today's game online free on the Horizon League Network on the link above. I'll have starters in just a minute. As always, if you have any questions or comments, feel free to leave them here or message me on twitter.
3:52 - Wright State hands Milwaukee its first conference loss of the season, 1-0. Thanks for tuning in! Check the website for the complete recap of today's game.
3:50 - Two minutes to go. Too many missed passes on the game for the Panthers...
3:46 - Pair of WSU subs and we're down to 5:30 to play before the final whistle. Corner for the Raiders.
3:43 - Stephans almost equalizes but her left-footed shot off a Kelsey cross just went left from about a yard out.
3:42 - Wright State finds the back of the net. Soto cleans up the ball in the box and puts it far post. Paige made a diving attempt but couldn't reach it. 10 minutes to bring it back for Milwaukee.
3:40 - Another near miss for the Raiders. They've been the clear winners of the last 20 minutes or so. Lewers back on for Swittel.
3:36 - WSU again misses on a header inside the box. Great set up by the Raiders off a corner and Fillion was able to find someone in the box but it went just wide. Dodged another bullet there.
3:34 - Worthington on for V. 17 minutes for either team to make something happen.
3:31 - A pair of free kicks in dangerous spots for UWM but nothing comes of it as the WSU defense holds strong. And on the other side Fillion JUST misses on a header from close range...someone forgot to mark their most lethal player. Swittel now in for Lewers.
3:27 - Lewers is manhandled but is called for the foul. To paraphrase a Will Smith song from years back, sometimes referees just don't understand...
3:23 - Stephans on for Morgan. Quick corner taken by Amy but the cross just missed Al on the far side.
3:19 - GREAT defense by Kauffung. Dangerous-looking attack by WSU but they took too many touches before firing and Amy made a slide tackle in the box to clear the chance.
3:17 - More possession for the Panthers on the attacking end but can't find that final ball. Nice job on a corner on the other end by Paige.
3:10 - Nothing much of note early in the second half. Elsewhere around the league...Valpo knocked off Youngstown State, 2-0, and Cleveland State took down Green Bay, 1-0.
3:05 - Van Keulen's out there warming back up and it looks like she'll be back out there in the second. Otherwise it's the starting 11 for UWM
3:03 - A few halftime thoughts...it's been a bit of an odd game. It doesn't feel like either team is totally into it...both have had some scoring chances but the game seems to lack that intensity. Maybe it's because I'm in a press box and not sideline like at Engelmann...Both teams probably should have at least one with Lewers in the opening minutes and one or two chances for Wright State...WSU is trying to beat Milwaukee's high back line but so far Paige has been up to the task on the few dangerous chances...This game needs a goal. I think one goal for either team will inject a little more life and urgency and potentially open some things up.
2:53 - A few halftime stats...
UWM WSU
Shots 4 3
Saves 0 1
Corners 2 2
Fouls 3 2
2:50 - Bah, another scary moment by WSU but Paige makes a diving save and the shot goes just wide. Completely unmarked on the backside but we head to half at 0-0.
2:49 - Nice, gritty play by Morgan in the box and Kelsey gets a shot off but it's blocked before it can get to the net. One minute before the half.
2:44 - A take away by Morgan but Lewers' shot again goes wide. Milwaukee's best chances have come on the counter so far today. When WSU gets set on defense, they seem to have too many numbers to find any passing/shooting lanes.
2:38 - Kelly Manski makes a great tackle at midfield to start good push for the Panthers but Dorre has a clearance go off her leg to end the threat.
2:34 - Milwaukee earns its first corner of the game. Holbert sends it into the box but McCurdy punches it away. Also on an injury note, it looks like Caity has her ankle on ice and propped up. That would mean three freshmen on the backline for the rest of the game if she can't return.
2:29 - Stephans also comes on now for V, also on the left side. Milwaukee with some possession here...but Lewers' shot goes sailing high. Still zeroes here, 21 minutes to go before half.
2:27 - Play stopped as Caity comes off limping right in front of our bench. She steps off and Van Keulen comes on at left back.
2:22 - Pretty open play still...neither team has taken control of the game but Wright State has had the run of play of late.
2:18 - YIKES! Fillion (WSU's goal scorer) with a great chance for the Raiders but her lofted shot over Paige from just outside the box missed by inches! Scary moment for Milwaukee...Wright State is definitely trying to beat that high line by UWM with the long ball and Fillion just stayed on side to create that last chance.
2:13 - WSU with the first corner of the contest...but it's lofted out of play. Fun fact of the day - Raiders goalie Brooke McCurdy has scored a goal on the season. She has a powerful leg and scored two weeks ago on a free kick from near midfield. Something to keep an eye on today.
2:10 - Nice bit of play for UWM on the offensive side as V made a couple moves on the edge of the box but the defense came over to help and cleared the threat. Entertaining first couple of minutes in this one.
2:07 - Big opportunity for WSU in the opening minutes but Paige was up to the task, making herself big and coming out in a one-on-one...Lewers with a similar situation for Milwaukee and she probably should have scored but pushes it wide.
2:05 - National anthem has been sung and we're underway here at Wright State! The Panthers are sporting their all-black kit while WSU is wearing pink jerseys, white shorts and white socks.
3:50 - Two minutes to go. Too many missed passes on the game for the Panthers...
3:46 - Pair of WSU subs and we're down to 5:30 to play before the final whistle. Corner for the Raiders.
