Eva Hill matched a career-best nine saves in goal as Detroit Mercy pushed #HLWSOC leader Milwaukee to the limit. However, it was not enough, as the Titans fell 2-1 in heartbreaking fashion, with the Panthers scoring the game-winning tally with just 24 seconds left in the match on Thursday night at Titan Field.
Milwaukee (9-4-1, 6-0 HL) and Detroit Mercy (2-11-1, 0-5-1 HL) played even during the first half, with both teams taking 10 shots and Hill making six saves.
UDM got on the board in the 74th minute as Lodato sent in a corner kick cross into the box, where Robinson was able to navigate through traffic and connect on a header past Panther goalkeeper Bella Hollenbach, which was only her third goal surrendered in league play.
The Titans' lead was short-lived as UDM was called for a penalty inside the box just two minutes later. Milwaukee was able to score on the ensuing penalty kick for the equalizer, tying the game at 1-1.
The Panthers were then able to mount a last-minute attack through the midfield, scoring the final tally to escape with the win and remain undefeated in conference play.
Detroit Mercy returns to Titan Field against Green Bay on Sunday, Oct. 12, at 1 pm.
