The UW Oshkosh women’s soccer team traveled to Eau Claire on Oct. 14 to play in a Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC) match this week, losing to UW-Eau Claire 1-0.

The Titans (2-9-3, 1-3-0 WIAC) had just ended a seven game winless streak in their last match with a 1-0 victory over UW-Stout.

The Blugolds (7-3-3, 2-1-1 WIAC) have had more positive fortunes this season heading into their match versus the Titans. However, the Blugolds had only won one of their past four matches.

After one half of action the two teams seemed to be very even. Deadlocked at 0-0, the Blugolds got off seven shots to the Titans’ five. 

The Blugolds would eventually open up the scoring in the 62nd minute when forward Megan Hansen scored an unassisted goal, giving the Blugolds a 1-0 lead.

Following Hansen’s goal, the Titans proceeded to get six more shots off to finish the half. However, only one shot would be on goal, and a shot by Kate Whitney hit the top of the woodwork in the 78th minute. 

Unfortunately for the Titans, the match ended in a 1-0 defeat despite outshooting the Blugolds 9-3 in the second half. 

The Titans hosted UW-Stevens Point on Oct. 18. Visit the UWO athletics website at uwoshkoshtitans.com for results. 

UWO will take on UW-River Falls for Senior Day for their last home game of the year Oct. 21 at Titan Stadium at 4 p.m.
