Wright State carried the lead into halftime behind three saves from Leigha Lauer, who helped the Raiders withstand six Milwaukee shots in the first 45 minutes.
Milwaukee found the equalizer in the 55th minute when Ashlyn Skinner-Barrett scored off an assist from Emily Petring to make it 1-1.
The Panthers continued to apply pressure throughout the second half and broke through again in the 82nd minute. Denise Camarena scored her second goal of the season to give Milwaukee a 2-1 lead.
Wright State generated several late chances looking for an equalizer. Macey Moore and Ryleigh Deards each forced saves from Milwaukee goalkeeper Lauren Nidey, while Ruby Dunlevy put a shot on target in the 84th minute, but the Panthers held on for the victory.
Lauer finished the afternoon with six saves while playing all 90 minutes in net for the Raiders. Nidey recorded three saves for Milwaukee.
In the box score, Wright State trailed Milwaukee in shots (17-5) and shots on goal (8-4), while the Panthers also held an edge in corner kick opportunities (7-5).
