Milwaukee v. Long Beach State Match Report

Milwaukee 3, Long Beach State 2
Aug. 26, 2011 – Engelmann Stadium (Milwaukee, Wis.)

Woman of the Match: Keara Thompson. Keara started the scoring (in a way) and ended it in highlight reel fashion. She assisted on Sarah Hagen's goal after going around her defender and lacing a cross to the far post. Then, her blast in the 80th minute decided the game.

NOTES: Milwaukee is now 2-0 all-time vs. Long Beach State ... Sarah Hagen is up to 71 career goals and 160 points ... Thompson is now eighth in school history with 15 career assists and is 12th with 41 points ... the game-winner was her sixth career, ninth-most in school history ... Jamie Forbes surrendered her first goals at home since Sept. 25, 2009 ... Milwaukee is 3-0 for the third time in school history (2008, 1989) ... the Panthers are 9-1-2 in their last 12 Milwaukee Cup games.
