UW-Oshkosh was able to outshoot the visitors, 10-8, but UW-Whitewater goalkeeper Aaron Sesselmann made three saves to earn the shutout. Tony Starnes (Jr. • Green Bay) led the Titans with three shots, while Hans Becker (Fr. • Madison), Robby Giljohann (Sr. • Brookfield) and Chris Kurth (So. • Green Bay) tallied two each.

The Warhawks' eight shots included three by Kron and one each from five different players.

Goalkeeper James Pike (Sr. • Wauwatosa) surrendered two scores while registering a pair of saves for UW-Oshkosh, which entered the match ranked 12th in the NCAA Division III by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America.

The Titans' next match is against Wheaton College (Ill.) on Saturday (Oct. 1) at J.J. Keller Field at Titan Stadium.
