Late PK Sends Panthers To Loss vs. Memphis

September 6, 2019

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Abdu Regassa found the equalizer in the 64th minute before a late penalty kick sent Memphis past the Milwaukee men's soccer team by a final score of 2-1 Friday evening at BBVA Field.
 
The Panthers (2-1) overcome a tough first half against the Tigers (2-1), turning the contest around in the second half on the scoresheet before finding the tying goal at the 63:47 mark.
 
Regassa created the goal by himself, fighting off a defender before lobbing the ball over the goalkeeper and into the back of the net for the first score of his collegiate career.
 
Milwaukee doubled-up the Tigers in shot attempts after halftime, yet came up empty and suffered their first loss of the season when they converted the PK in the 72nd minute.
 
The Panthers pushed forward late, but opportunities from Matthew Cahill in the 81st minute and Vuk Latinovich in the 87th did not find the net.
 
Memphis ended the contest with advantage of 8-to-4 in shots and 7-to-2 in corner kicks. Freddy Lorenzen did make a pair of saves.
 
Milwaukee closes out the weekend in the UAB "Soccer For a Cure Classic" Sunday, taking on the host Blazers at noon.
