DETROIT (10/7/2018) -- The University of Detroit Mercy women's soccer team slowed down a high-powered Milwaukee offense all game long, but the Panthers were able to get one in the net as the Titans fell, 1-0, to the first place Horizon League squad on Sunday afternoon.

The game was initially scheduled for Saturday, but weather pushed the game to a Sunday match-up.

Milwaukee (11-1-0, 5-0-0 HL) and Detroit Mercy (3-7-3, 0-4-1 HL) were scoreless in the first half, but 11 minutes into the second, the visiting Panthers tallied their goal.

Senior Marina Manzo made two saves on the day and senior Carly Fiorido led the offense with a pair of shots.
