GREEN BAY, Wis. – Despite a heavy advantage in shots and possession, the Milwaukee men's soccer team was unable to find the back of the net in falling to Green Bay, 2-0, Saturday night at Aldo Santaga Stadium.
 
The Panthers (5-6-1, 1-3-1 Horizon League) had over twice as many shots as the Phoenix (3-6-2, 2-3 Horizon League), and had all six of the corner kicks in the contest, yet suffered another tough-luck loss on the road in the yearly battle for the "Chancellor's Cup".
 
MKE made it interesting in the end. Down 1-0 since the 54^th minute, the offense continued to find opportunities, but were just not able to get them on goal.
 
As time ticked away in regulation there was plenty of action, starting with a saved attempt from Suad Suljic in the 85^th minute.
 
It was Suljic again, getting open on the right wing in the 86^th minute, seeing his on-target attempted get blocked by the final defender. Vuk Latinovich nearly played hero as well, sending a left-footed shot whistling just wide of the left post on a pass from Suljic at the 88:20 mark.
 
Milwaukee would earn a free kick just outside the top of the 18 with one minute left. Latinovich's shot was blocked out of bounds, with a header off the proceeding corner kick also flying just wide.
 
Green Bay made matters worse, scoring off a counter attack in the closing seconds to make the final scoreline very misleading.
 
The Panthers were around the net all day, finishing with a 17-to-7 shot advantage after all was said and done. However, just two of them went on the scoresheet as on-goal attempts, making the day much easier for the Phoenix defense.
 
Evan Conway came close to a trio of goals, settling for a game-high six shot attempts on the day. Latinovich added five.
 
Freddy Lorenzen posted three saves in defeat.
 
Up next, it is an interesting week for the Panthers, playing a pair of non-conference games as the schedule hits mid-October. Up first is a road game at Eastern Illinois Tuesday, Kickoff is set for 1 p.m.
