9:24 p.m.
Ughhhhhhh, that will do it. The game finishes in a 2-2 draw with UWM dominating the stat sheet. Final shot count is 34-to-18. Wow. Thanks for joining me tonight and look for the recap and box score on the main site later tonight...

9:21 p.m.
John Shakon just made 3 of the most impressive saves you will EVER SEE. And they came in a span of about 10 seconds in the box!!

9:10 p.m.
Panthers with 3 corner kicks in a row but unable to even get a recorded shot. About 6 minutes to play. We need to get that goal!

9:10 p.m.
Nothing too exciting either way in the first overtime session. Shots were 4-1 in UWM's favor, but nothing dangerous. Double-OT, why would we have it any other way?

8:50 p.m.
To OVERTIME we go for the third straight time in 2012 and the third-straight time in the Chancellor's Cup matches!

UWM leads shots, 24-13. Dominating since falling down 2-0. We need this one!!

8:50 p.m.
Still feels like UWM has the comeback in 'em ... 4:10 left, stop on the field for an injury again. Bladen had a quality header off a free kick that was just wide and Shakon made a nice save about 2 minutes ago.

8:40 p.m.
PANTHERS EQUALIZE!! LAURIE BELL SPECTACULAR FREE KICK!!
Stevenson earned a free kick from nearly the sideline. Bell set up for his free kick and it headed to the far post and needed NO HELP!! In the top corner!

13 minutes to decide a winner in regulation!

8:31 p.m.
Nothing spectacular either way for a bit here ... stop in play with a GB player down. 21:04 on the clock ... feels like a goal is coming.

8:14 p.m.
GOAL PANTHERS!
Ferron sent long diagonal to Boyd, who's shot hit Ruhland in the back. He regrouped and picked up the loose ball, firing it to the far post from the elbow of the box.

2-1 it is. New life. 35 to play...

8:09 p.m.
Goal Green Bay. Long free kick. Header at far post. 41 left, but the job just got tougher. 2-0.

7:48 p.m.
And with that, it is halftime. Remains 1-0 Green Bay. Milwaukee offense picked up the second part of the period, but could not equalize. Panthers lead in shots, 8-6, and in corners, 3-0.

See you in 15 minutes.

7:34 p.m.
Green Bay goal. #10 Whitney Brown with a header in the box over Shakon's head. He came off his line, indecisive and then it was over his head. 13:40 left.

7:26 p.m.
Panthers creating lots of pressure now. Two best shots were called offsides, but have a couple others as well. Potential there... 20 left.

7:19 p.m.
Ahmad Bah drives in on goal and has a very open look ... but shoots very wide. UWM offense failing to connect so far.

7:10 p.m.
Green Bay puts together a pair of decent connecting passes in the attacking third and get a quality chance ... saved nicely with a diving stop by Shakon.

7:07 p.m.
Six minutes into the match and not a single shot, corner or barely a foul recorded. Lots of midfield possession.

7:01 p.m.
And we are underway here at Alda Santaga Stadium for tonight's match between the Panthers and the Phoenix for the "Chancellor's Cup".

Starters for UWM: 30 Shakon (GK), 3 James Ashcroft, 4 Jamie Bladen, 7 Dorian O'Lochlayne, 9 Aaron Horvat, 15 Declan Rodriguez, 18 Richard Johnson, 19 Robbie Boyd, 20 Laurie Bell, 22 Zach Stevenson, 23 Kevin Ferron
