8:49 - Thanks for tuning in. Just a quick note from other UWM sports...Men's basketball beat James Madison, Swimming dominated the Stevens Point Border Battle, Volleyball dropped a five-setter to Cleveland State. We'll see you next season.
8:48 - Maria with blast from waaaay out but it's wide of the frame and that will do it. Tough way to end what turned out to be a remarkable season.
8:45 - Mel comes on for Swittel. Nice way for her to end her career. 3:20 left on the clock
8:42 - Michigan caps the night with one more. The extra attacked left another unmarked and it was an easy finish. 4-0 with 5:30 left
8:39 - I'd guess we're in a 3-4-3 right now with Swittel joining Lewers + Dorre up top. Maria kind of floating in the middle. Amy at left back, Manski at right. Anything goes here with just 8 to play
8:37 - Swittel back on, this time for Van Keulen. Ezurike also came back on a few minutes ago...
8:33 - Oooooo, a bunch of Milwaukee players on the attack but just can't come up with the finisher. Lewers back on for Swittel. 13:40 to play
8:25 - Taylor Swittel now on for Lewers up top. Great ball by U-M but Nat forces the girl wide and her shot on an empty net hits the side netting outside the goal.
8:24 - Just kind of one of those nights for Milwaukee...a beautiful cross into the box from I believe Kelsey but it was Maria and V on the receiving end and both players were leading with their shooting feet...meaning neither were able to get a good swing on it and it was cleared away. 23 minutes to get something going.
8:19 - Not a ton to write about for a bit. Michigan's been on the attack most of the last five or six, but really no threatening chances. Milwaukee did have a nice run but Kelsey's move in the box was snuffed out at the last second. Michigan takes Ezurike out. 26 to play.
8:14 - Maria comes back on but for Morgan. I believe this is the first time all season she has not come on for V. Looks like Milwaukee is changing it's shape a little...
8:13 - A cross in the box intended for Ezurike and again Nat is there. She's coming out of the gates strong in the second half.
8:10 - Michigan with a free kick from just outside the area but Nat again comes up big. So far it's been mostly Wolverines to start the second.
8:05 - Ezurike with a blast but Nat comes up with a big save.
8:03 - Second half underway. Milwaukee now attacking left to right. Michigan with the first threat of the half but is called for a foul and Nat will boot the ball from inside her own box.
7:53 - First half thoughts...the stats are pretty telling. Both teams have nine shots, both teams have one save but three of Michigan's shots have gone in the back of the net. Save for a few-minute run by U-M, the game has been very even. Milwaukee cannot afford to leave players unmarked though...Panthers have possessed well most of the half and generated good shots, but Michigan's defense has been quick to close and I'd guess the majority of UWM's shots have been blocked...Yes, the ref screwed up and it should have been 1-1, which would have changed the game who knows how, but Michigan has been more ruthless on the offensive end. Milwaukee unlucky to not have a goal but can't use that as an excuse and will have to continue to battle like they have all season. Things looked pretty bleak at half against Vanderbilt (down 3-0) and they came back then. Can this team continue the season-long trend of late-game comebacks? 45 minutes to find out...

7:46 - Halftime here at U-M Soccer Stadium. UWM trails 3-0.
7:41 - Pair of shots by Michigan but both went wide of the frame. A little too much for comfort on the last one.
7:39 - Worthington comes into the game for Stern. 6:37 left on the clock.
7:37 - Lewers gets a nice feed in the box but her shot goes right at the keeper. Would be nice to get one before the half...
7:36 - Holbert with a low liner from distance but it goes a few feet wide right. I'm hearing there are some issues with GameTracker. They're working as best they can. Michigan with another good chance but the shot goes well high.
7:34 - Callie on for Morgan. 11:30 to play before the break. Michigan possessed waaaaay too much in the time of their two goals and the result is pretty obvious.
7:30 - Michigan scores and no waiving that one off. Ezurike scores from close range and it's 3-0. Maria in for V. 15 minutes before half.
7:28 - Michigan scored again but it was called off - offside. Crazy play...through ball to the runner and Nat came way out and dove head first bu tmissed it...the attacked didn't collect it until the end line and had no angle, slotted it back and THAT player played it back to the girl on the end, who scored but was definitely offside.
7:25 - Bah! Morgan had the ball in the box and missed Manski WIDE open on the right side. Still got off two good shots (Lewers + Morgan) but both were blocked by the recovering defense.
7:22 - Another Panther corner but Kelsey's drop to Stern and subsequent shot were nothing too serious. Milwaukee still doesn't seem too rattled but are definitely playing with more urgency.
7:16 - Michigan goal, Toohey scores her second of the season. Wolverines again possessed along the endline and slotted it back toward the top of the box...two players there and only one defender. Shot went far post and Nat couldn't get to it.
7:15 - Another corner for Milwaukee. Amy sets it up aaaaand...it's headed away by U-M.
7:13 - Panthers do not seem fazed or rattled by the early goal at all. 15 minutes in and I'd say it's pretty even possession-wise. Michigan probably has more in the attack, but really it's been pretty even both ways.
7:10 - Amy with some good individual defending of Ezurike. Long throw into the box is cleared by Amy. Threat averted.
7:08 - Haven't seen anything like that all season. Should be 1-1. I'm not trying to be a homer...everyone in the box agreed. Milwaukee will have to play on but this game should be level.
7:04 - Dorre with a rip from distance leads to a corner and Milwaukee is ROBBED of a goal. The ball floated in the air, V get a body on it and Al was there and got the ball across the line but Michigan cleared it and the ref never made a signal. Clearly a goal.
7:03 - The Wolverines carried the ball down to the end line and Ezurike was far too wide open and finished far-post very easily. Can't leave that experienced of a goal scorer that open.
7:02 - Michigan's Nkem Ezurike scores her 12th of the season and it's 1-0 U-M early.
7:01 - Michigan is traveling left to right here in the first, meaning Milwaukee is attacking right to left.
6:59 - Michigan starts with the ball, launching it to the corner of the box and Nat gets in on the action early, smothering the long ball.
6:55 - Anthem about to start. Here are your starting lineups...
6:50 - UWM will be going with their all-black uniforms tonight with Nat wearing her gray jersey, black shorts + golds socks. Michigan will be in their home whites that have yellow sleeves. Can't say I've seen their goalie but for the fashion conscious people out there, I'll update before kick off.
6:40 - The big note is Nat in net as Paige is still out with injury. Caity is still limited but I'm told she's cleared to play, but Rachael has been very solid in her absence lately and should be fine. The Wolverines are a very good squad, scoring 36 times on the season and conceding just 10. Milwaukee has had no trouble scoring of late, but their defensive injuries all season along with their youth in the back have allowed for the opponents to capitalize at times. Should be an interesting matchup.
6:33 - Starters are in. Milwaukee will go with Natalie Fettinger in goal. The backline will be Van Keulen, Amy, Alleina and Manski. Mids are Vienna, Kelsey, Stern + Morgan, with Lewers and Dorre up top.
Michigan goes with Bucklin in net, defenders Zadorsky, Mannino, Hein and Sosenko, mids Ordonez, Murillo, McCombs, Toohey and Lewis, with the goal-scorer Ezurike listed as the lone forward.
6:25 - Here's a view of the field. It's a beautiful night here in Michigan. Low 50's and dry so far...
6:22 - Hello and welcome from Ann Arbor! We're all set for Milwaukee's NCAA First Round matchup against No. 11 Michigan. There is no live stream tonight unfortunately, but I'll do my best to bring you all the action on this blog. If you have any questions, feel free to post them either here or on Twitter.
