4 p.m.
That will conclude the game .... Northwestern prevails with a 2-0 shutout. Thanks for joining me today. UWM will be off until the 25th at Bowling Green.

3:54 p.m.
Just 5 minutes left and things looking a bit bleak.

3:44 p.m.
Well, UWM getting a few chances, but it's looking to be a tough go at this nationally-ranked Wildcat team. Still 2-0, 15 minutes left.

3:32 p.m.
2-0 Northwestern. Header off a long serve at the far post. 27 minutes left.

3:26 p.m.
And NU breaks through. Scrum in front off a corner kick. First shot cleared off the line, rebound in traffic put in. 1-0. 31 minutes left... work to do.

3:17 p.m.
Unbelievable save by John Skakon just seconds into the second half. NU's #11 sent on frame, redirected by 10 at last second, one-handed save by John to push it just wide!!

2:58 p.m.
Well, it's halftime and we remain scoreless, 0-0.
The story of the game has been both defenses, as a total of just 6 shots have been recorded in the game, with UWM taking 4 of them. UWM had the 2 best chances, but was high on both of them. See you in 15 minutes...

2:44 p.m.
Johnson throw in to Bell in box, he finds Boyd who one-touches to top of box for a Rodriguez blast that goes just high. First UWM shot and there is about 15 minutes left. 0-0.

2:38 p.m.
Well, we are 25 minutes in and I literally have nothing to write about except two solid defenses going at it...

2:26 p.m.
Well, I wish I had more to report, but we are 15 minutes in and there has yet to be a shot ... by EITHER team.

2:18 p.m.
Well, a whole lot of nothing through the first five minutes. No shots, corners, barely even a foul (just one).

2 p.m.
Yes, the game should already be underway, but for some reason, they put 45 minutes on the clock after the NIU/Iona game ended at 1:30 pm...

Her are starters for both sides: NU: 1 Miller (GK), 3 Masri, 4 Baughman, 5 Boxall, 6 Ritter, 10 Calistri, 11 Weberman, 14 Herrill, 20 Gendron, 21 Lakin, 26 Wilson

UWM: 30 Shakon (GK), 2 Ruhland, 3 Ashcroft, 4 Bladen, 9 Horvat, 10 McBain, 15 Rodriguez, 18 Johnson, 19 Boyd, 20 Bell, 26 Weiner
