Milwaukee dominated Purdue Fort Wayne but needed Natalie Zodrow’s 73rd-minute goal to secure a 1-0 road win. The Panthers stayed unbeaten in Horizon League play and extended their regular-season conference unbeaten streak to 48 matches.

By the Numbers
  • Shots: Milwaukee 25, Purdue Fort Wayne 1.
  • Corner kicks: Milwaukee 15, Purdue Fort Wayne 0.
  • Possession: Milwaukee 63%.
  • Conference record: Milwaukee 9-0-0; overall record: 11-4-2.
Yes, But

Milwaukee’s attacking advantage didn’t translate into an easy afternoon: Purdue Fort Wayne goalkeeper Sam Christle made a career-high 10 saves, and the Mastodons defended resolutely. Zodrow’s goal finally broke through on a corner kick.

State of Play
  • Milwaukee is unbeaten in 48 consecutive regular-season Horizon League games (40 wins, 8 ties), a streak dating to 2022.
  • The Panthers’ sixth straight regular-season conference title and the No. 1 postseason seed could be clinched if Green Bay draws or loses to Cleveland State.
What’s Next

Milwaukee visits Cleveland State Sunday at noon CT, aiming to complete a road-trip sweep. Green Bay’s result could determine whether the Panthers clinch the title before then.

Bottom Line

Milwaukee controlled nearly every measure of the match and kept its conference run intact; a late set-piece goal was enough to turn dominance into three points.
