Warhawks Earn Draw at Concordia Wisconsin

Box Score The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater team recovered from a first-half deficit Wednesday to come away with a 1-1 tie at Concordia (Wis.) in a non-conference affair in Mequon, Wis.
 
After falling behind midway through the first half, the Warhawks (6-3-2 overall) leveled the match as sophomore forward Justin Stanko (St. Charles, Ill./St. Charles North) tallied 18 minutes into the second half from six yards out.
 
UW-Whitewater outshot the Falcons (3-7-1) 16-13 and held a 6-5 edge in corner kicks. The two teams combined to be whistled for 35 fouls and four yellow cards were assessed.
 
Senior goalkeeper Josh Rohde (Waukesha, Wis./Waukesha West) totaled two saves in playing all 110 minutes of action.
 
UW-Whitewater had three corner kick opportunities in the first 22 minutes of action, but was unable to find the back of the net. The Falcons tallied on a shot from 30 yards out to take the lead in the 25th minute.
 
Senior defender Ryan Reid (Rockton, Ill./Hononegah) attempted three shots in the first half. Senior midfielder Sam Kuchenreuther (Brown Deer, Wis./Brown Deer) tried the team's lone shot on goal in the period.
 
Stanko put the first shot on net just over a minute into the second half, then, after two more Warhawk shot attempts, tied the contest at 1-1 in the 63rd off a pass from junior forward Sam Novak (Milton, Wis./Milton). It was Stanko's third goal of the season and Novak's fourth assist, a mark good for second on the team.
 
Kuchenreuther hit the cross bar on a shot in the 87th minute, and UW-Whitewater drew a corner kick moments later, but the contest continued into overtime.
 
Concordia earned a pair of corner kicks in the first extra period, but neither team was unable to record a golden goal.
 
In the second overtime, the Warhawks had a goal called back due to an offside call in the 104th. UW-Whitewater had a late corner kick, but was unable to come up with a game-winner.
 
The Warhawks have the weekend off before returning to action next Wednesday at home against North Park (Ill.). Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. at Fiskum Field.
