The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater women's soccer team dropped to 1-1 this season after a 3-0 road loss to Wittenberg University Sunday in Springfield, Ohio.
Â
The Tigers pressured the Warhawk defense and junior goalkeeper
Nina Yonan (Skokie, Ill./Niles North) early, with three shots on goal in the first twenty minutes. Yonan stifled all three attempts to keep the game scoreless.
Â
Wittenberg found themselves up 1-0 after sliding a ball past Yonan in the 28th minute, and never looked back.
Â
Insurance goals in the 62nd and 80th minutes provided plenty of cushion down the stretch, as the Warhawks struggled to get anything going offensively.
Â
UW-W didn't record a shot until seven and a half minutes into the second half when sophomore transfer
Anna Brodjian (Barrington, Ill./Barrington) fired a shot on goal that was stopped by Tiger goalkeeper Kelly Corbin.
Â
Anna Boyd (De Pere, Wis./De Pere) also had an opportunity to score in the 62nd minute, but her shot glanced off the crossbar.
Â
The Warhawks tested the Tiger keeper one last time in the final minute, but Corbin made the save to complete the shutout and earn the win.
Â
Wittenberg outshot UW-W 12-3 in the match, including 9-2 on goal.
Â
Up next, the Warhawks will host Concordia (Wis.) on Wednesday, September 5 at 7 pm at Fiskum Field in Whitewater.
