Live Stats

9:02 - Here's your final box on a big win for UWM. Thanks for tuning in. I'll have the recap and box score on the site asap. Hopefully the wifi works on the bus. Have a good night and we'll see you next Wednesday at Engelmann.

8:58 - And that'll do it. Milwaukee improves to 3-6 on the year.

8:57 - Gonyo with a nice turn about 25 yards out but her shot goes soaring over.

8:55 - Oof! Senn taken down right at midfield but advantage played. Lewers earns a corner but nothing comes of it. Just two minutes left. Time to hold on!

8:54 - Lewers taken down just outside the box...Behnke takes it but it's right into the wall

8:52 - Another shot by Gonyo but right to Lincicum. This half definitely hasn't had as much action in the attacking areas as the first, but I'm sure Milwaukee isn't complaining about that too much.

8:51 - A whole batch of subs by Loyola...

8:50 - Another sub as Stephans comes back on for West. Exactly 8:00 left on the clock

8:48 - Lewers comes back in for Dorre with Milwaukee taking a deep throw in. 10 minutes to go in this one...

8:46 - Side note, Behnke had been waiting to check in for roughly 10 minutes. I think the longest I've seen someone stand on the sideline in my time as the soccer SID.

8:45 - Great run by Senn earns a corner. Behnke checks in for Manski and Kauffung's corner is cleared away with no danger

8:41 - Great rip from distance by Loyola but right into Lincicum's waiting arms.

8:38 - Stephans and Lyola's Hailey Merrill bang heads and both fall to the ground. Both trainers out to take a look. Both already up and talking and appear to be fine but West checks in for Stephans

8:36 - Gonyo with some fancy footwork on the attack for Loyola but her pass leads to an offside call, the Ramblers' fourth of the game

8:34 - Senn comes back on for Lewers. Just over 21 minutes left in regulation

8:32 - Foul on UWM. Ensung freekick is cleared away and now a foul on Loyola. Milwaukee "leads" the foul count, 11-5

8:28 - Good run by the Ramblers as Milwaukee's D was looking for the offside flag that never came. Dangerous cross but Lincicum snared it.

8:26 - Milwaukee with a few more dangerous chances but no shots on frame. Lewers looked like she was fouled just on the edge of the box but no call. Corrigan checks in for Behnke. 29 minutes left on the clock.

8:18 - Nervy moments for Loyola. They nearly had an own goal and then Kauffung had a rip inside the box through some traffic but another great, diving save by the LU keeper. 38:30 on the clock

8:11 - And we're underway. Loyola starts with it, going left to right.

8:10 - Just about to start the second half. One change for Milwaukee as Manski stays out there for LaPlant.

8:02 - First half thoughts...the ball really bounces here (have I said that before) off this turf and that's definitely taken some adjusting to. Couldn't get a clean look, but if I had to guess, that's how the hand ball in the box happened....Milwaukee did very well to respond to the early LU goal. Both goals were great shots and definitely seemed to be adjustments to the bouncy surface and pressure D by Loyola...interesting to see the half end without Smalley, Lewers or Dorre on the field - and there really wasn't much of a let up from the subs. We'll see how coach Henschel uses his bench here in the second half with this being the lone game of the week and conference play starting up next week.

8:00 - Here's your halftime box score...



7:55 - And we hit the break 2-1 in favor of UWM. Stats and other fun facts coming at the break

7:53 - A little bouncing around for both teams but nothing to write about. One minute left before half

7:49 - Mariah Vichich is the injured Rambler and she's able to walk off on her own. Looked like she just bumped knees...hopefully nothing more. Tetzke in for Lewers during the stoppage. 4:56 left in the half

7:46 - Senn forces a bit of confusion by the LU defense on an awkward pass back and almost finds herself with the ball and an empty net but it just got tangled up and cleared away. Stop in play here as a Rambler is down on the field.

7:44 - Worthington now checks in for Dorre and two more subs for the Ramblers. 7:02 left in the half.

7:41 - And Manski in for LaPlant. 10 minutes left on the clock

7:40 - A little bit of a scary moment for Panther fans as the ball skips past the defense near the corner of the box. The LU forward is closed down quickly by Lincicum, who slides and gets her hands on it but couldn't control. Blanchard eventually booted it to the wing and Bestwina dribbled it out of danger.

7:37 - Three subs for Loyola. Manski now steps up to the scorers table and is set to check in

7:35 - Dorre with another rip on a floater just inside the box and a diving save at the corner of the post keeps the score the same. That one looked like it was heading in. Great save.

7:33 - Interesting sub as Senn checks in for Smalley. We'll see if someone switches to Smalley's roll or if they go with more of a three-forward formation...

7:29 - Great individual effort from Dorre. Dribbled around I'd call it two defenders (more were around) and then just ripped it with a girl on her hip from the top of the box near post

7:28 - KRISSY DORRE everybody! Dorre with a BLAST from the top of the box and Milwaukee takes the 2-1 lead at the 22:01 mark.

7:21 - And just like that, GOAL MILWAUKEE!!! Blanchard with a long, diagonal ball into the box and Lewers one-times it far post

7:19 - Not a ton of action since the goal. Little bit of play in each attacking area but nothing threatening either way

7:13 - Another Rambler freekick finds one of their players in the box and the looping header was a tricky one that Lincicum had to punch over the bar. Ensuing corner lead to a handball in the box and the PK is converted for an early 1-0 Rambler lead.

7:11 - Panthers called for a handball about 25 yards from goal and the ensuing freekick was a tricky one - a low squibbler - but Paige was waiting for it.

7:09 - Dorre with a header for the game's first chance but it's well over the crossbar.

7:06 - Early observation - the ball REALLY bounces off this turf.

7:04 - Aaaaand we're underway! Milwaukee starts with the ball and is going left to right. Panthers wearing their all-black kit with LU going with white jerseys, yellow shorts and yellow socks.

7:01 - Beautiful night here at Loyola Soccer Park



6:54 - And here's your starters for tonight's match. Same XI for five straight games now





6:48 - Just a few minutes left in warmups and apparently a few minutes left of sunlight...



6:00 pm - Hello and welcome from Chicago! The team is here after a lovely early dinner at Panera. Just starting to settle in with warmups. It's a nice, clear evening from Chicago's north side right near Lake Michigan. I'll have lineups, the occasional picture and my best description of the game for those who can't make it to tonight's game as we go. Thanks for following along and enjoy the game!
