The Warhawks pace was fast and furious from the start. UW-W tallied six corner kicks and five shots in the first eleven minutes of play. The Warhawks outshot the Knights 12-2 in the first half, but neither team could breakthrough to take a lead.

The second half was a little more evenly matched, but the Warhawks continued with their relentless pursuit of a goal, firing off eight more shots, four on goal. Again, neither team was able to breakthrough.

Then, 6:05 into the overtime period, Kaitlyn Fritsch (Cottage Grove, Wis./Monona Grove) gained control of the ball and fired it into the net to give the Warhawks the win.

The Knights made UW-W junior goalkeeper Jordan Meyers earn the win by making six saves in the game. She is now 4-0-1 as goalkeeper this season and has two solo shutouts and one combined shutout. This was the third consecutive shutout by the Warhawks.

The Warhawks will travel to Naperville, Illinois Sunday for a match against North Central College at 3:30 pm.
