LAST TIME OUT
 The Raiders earned a tough-fought point on the road at Milwaukee, drawing the match 2-2.


The Raiders would open the scoring in the 23^rd minute courtesy of a long-range strike off the right foot of Zara Graff. Ashley Vaughn played the ball to Graff at the halfway line. The junior took three dribbles and fired a right-footed strike that found the top corner of the goal past the fully extended Milwaukee goalie.
 
Milwaukee would level the score just six minutes later. Mallory McGuire received the ball just outside the 18-yard box, playing a pass through to Lola Wojcik, who was able to tap the shot home.
 
The Panthers took the lead in the 51^st minute in dramatic fashion via an Olimpico. Kristina Karlof stood over the corner kick, firing in a shot that just curled inside the back post to give Milwaukee a 2-1 advantage.
 
Wright State kept up the pressure in the second half and finally broke through in the waning seconds of the match. Amber Branum played a pass out to Ruby Dunlevy on the left wing. Dunlevy played a pass into the box that found the feet of Olivia Stroud, who turned and fired a shot around the Panthers' goalie and into the back of the net with just eight seconds left on the clock.

SEPTEMBER SHUTDOWN

During the shutout streak, the Raiders played 437 minutes of match play without conceding a goal, spanning from the 58^th minute against Bellarmine on September 4 and the 38^th minute against IU Indy on September 28. Leigha Lauer and Sarka have both seen action between the posts over the three-game span. Sarka has recorded two solo shutouts, and Lauer has recorded one solo shutout.
