9:25 - FINAL! UWM 1, OU 0. Panthers take home 14th-consecutive Horizon League crown. What a great game. Really can't stress that enough. Look for reaction and recap on the site coming up. Thanks for tuning in...tonight and all season!

9:20 - Yellow card to Amy for clearing the ball after the whistle. Dangerous free kick of OU...30ish out

9:18 - Five to play! This has been an awesome game all around

9:12 - What a save by Paige! Point blank shot, great save! Followed by a great show by Lewers and an equally great save by OU's Payj O'Shea.

9:06 - Solid shot by OU, solid save by Paige. Callie coming back on for Morgan. 16:31 to play. Really cold...really good game.

9:02 - Dorre back on for Mel. In scoreboard watching, Wright State takes down CSU, 1-0, on a late goal by the Raiders. Means Milwaukee has to win to host the tournament. A tie here in this game would tie Milwaukee and WSU, with Wright State having the tie breaker.

8:56 - Best chance by OU thus far but Paige is up to the challenge....and then a shot OFF THE BAR by the Grizz! UWM dodges a bullet there. 26 to play.

8:51 - Sorry for the lack of updates...my fingers are really cold. Mel on for Krissy. 32 minutes from the final horn.

8:40 - Thoughts from the first half...this team is by far the most like Milwaukee in the conference. Both teams try to possess and drive up the field with intent, unlike most other HL teams that boot it to talented forwards...UWM probably had the advantage in possession, but maybe 55-45 - it was close...Oakland created some decent chances but never really had the ball inside the box. Milwaukee's D holding strong through the first 45. Should be an entertaining second half.

8:38 - Sorry, was busy at half. UWM leads 6-3 in shots + corners, 1-0. Oakland has 3 saves to Milwaukee's 1.

8:23 - And we're at the half. 1-0 UWM. Stats coming up

8:17 - And Callie on for Morgan. Five minutes to go before the break

8:14 - Good play from both sides but really nothing to write home about still. It's been good soccer but not really dangerous chances. Sky on for the goal-scorer.

8:06 - Blast from distance for OU but right to Paige. Great ball from Dorre to Lewers but jusssst offside. Another shot from Amy and now a corner for UWM

8:00 - Pair of offside calls split each way but otherwise still nothing terribly dramatic.

In scoreboard watching, WSU and CSU are at zeros at the half. Detroit beat Youngstown and Green Bay is tied with Valpo, 1-1 in the first.

7:55 - Bit of possession for the Grizz and a shot from just outside the box with good pace but wide of the target.

7:50 - GOAL! Vienna Behnke takes a turnover near the endline and pounces on it! Blast from close range and keeper really had no chance. First goal Oakland has conceded since Oct. 5

7:47 - And we have our first stat! A shot from OU goes wildly over the bar for no danger.

7:41 - Mixed possession from each team but no stats thus far.

7:37 - Milwaukee wearing their all-blacks, Oakland in the all-whites and we're underway! UWM starts with the ball...

7:33 - My view for the night




7:12 - Starters are in. For Milwaukee, the Panthers go with Paige in net, Amy, Manski, Caity and Alleina on the back line, Stern, Kelsey, Morgan + V in the middle with Krissy and Lewers up top.

Oakland counters with Payj O'Shea in net, along with Sarah Reynolds, Stencel, Palmer, Brianne Horne, Jamie Horne, Haelewyn, Kellermann, San Cartier, Grant + Meghan Reynolds.

7:05 - Warmups are underway and we're almost set to go here at Oakland. It's Senior Day for the Grizzlies so there will be a fancy ceremony before we start but from what I hear we're set to start on time.

Hello and welcome from Oakland (Rochester, Mich.)! Kick off is set for 6:30 p.m. Central Time from OU Soccer Field.
