Box Score

DAYTON – The Wright State men's soccer team had a late rally to tie 3-3 at Milwaukee Saturday afternoon. The three Raider goals came in the final 15 minutes as Cole Werthmuller sunk the first goal for WSU, followed by Brayden Tester with back-to-back goals in the final minutes.

Wright State (3-3-2, 1-0-1 HL) outshot Milwaukee (2-1-3, 0-1-1 HL) 22-13, landing ten on target to the Panther's five. The Raiders recorded six corner kicks to MKE's five. Werthmuller led the Raiders with five shots, followed by Edwin Espinal-Elvir with four, and Tester with three shots. Goalkeeper Joel Shaw logged a full 90 minutes of play, recording one save.

Joining Shaw in the complete game were Brock Pickett and Werthmuller. Conner Osterholt followed with 81 minutes, closely trailed by Zakaria Amro, Uleto Fuentes, and Roman Kedgley with 79 minutes.

The Raiders got off to a slow start, having only five shots in the first half compared to MKE's seven. The Panthers held a 2-0 advantage after the first 45 minutes, first sinking one in the 23rd minute, and another in the 37th minute.

Milwaukee added another to the board just five minutes into the second half. The Raiders responded, adding five shots within five minutes of each other to begin their second-half rally. Werthmuller was the first Raider to score as he received a pass from Tester, sinking it with a header from just outside of the box.

Tester, who had entered the game less than ten minutes prior, scored his first collegiate goal in the 84th minute, volleying a long ball from Pickett over the charging Panther goalkeeper. Just 28 seconds later, Tester added the game-tying goal with a skillful shot from the wing. Henry Hutchinson set up the play with a well-placed pass, allowing Tester to blast the ball past the keeper, tucking it just inside the post.

The Raiders will play again on Tuesday, traveling for a 7 p.m. nonconference match at Butler. Fans can keep up with the action through the FloSports livestream or live stats.
