Sept. 28, 2011 - Engelmann Stadium
Man of the Match: It has to go to Cody Banks, who netted the game-winner to help UWM reclaim the Chancellor's Cup for the first time since 2007. He subbed into the game in the second overtime just minutes earlier and gave the Panthers one of their latest-ever victories as far as time left on the clock goes. In a night full of great endings in the sports world, the Panthers and Banks added to it.Offensive Charge: The UWM offense continues to find the net, scoring three more goals to give the team 18 goals on the season. For perspective, the Panthers tallied 17 goals in all of 2010 and just 12 in the 2009 campaign. The team recorded 24 more shots tonight with Banks and Jamie Bladen each scoring, giving UWM its eighth and ninth different player to score goals this season.
Freshman in Net: Josh Rohde made seven saves and is now 2-0 in his first two collegiate starts. The second goal he allowed tonight came on a deflection and he made several highlight-reel saves to keep Green Bay out of the net.
Home Crowd: Another great crowd was on hand tonight, as 891 came out to Engelmann to cheer on the victory, including an enthusiastic student section that managed to join the Panthers' victory pile on the field following Banks' goal. The team is now averaging 868 fans through six home games.
Up next: The Panthers welcome Cleveland State Saturday night, starting at 7 p.m.
