UW-Milwaukee Panthers
(9-4-3 overall, 6-0-1 Horizon League)
Friday's win was the 100th of Michael Moynihan's coaching career. The program record-holder in wins since No. 47, he is just the fourth coach in school history to reach 100 soccer victories.

The Panthers finished their League slate unbeaten (6-0-1) for the second-straight year, the fifth time in six seasons and the sixth time overall. Only one other current league team has had an unbeaten league season (Butler, 1995, 6-0-0).

Erin Kane picked up her school record-tying eight shutout of the season Friday. In addition to doubling the previous freshmanrecord for shutouts (4), she also surpassed frosh marks for wins, starts, minutes played and remains well on pace to break the mark for GAA.

She went on to coach seven seasons at Northern Illinois University before announcing her retirement in March. Hammerle finished her collegiate coaching career with a 536-346 record (.608). Her 500th career win came on Feb. 2, 2002 in a 63-42 NIU victory over Akron. Hammerle completed the 2004-05 campaign ranked fifth among active NCAA coachesfor longevity in terms of seasons (32) and tenth in games coached (882). She is also 23rd in Division I history with those 536 career victories.

"We are honored to have Carol be a part of this extraordinary event," UW-Green Bay associate athletics director Amanda Braun said. "She truly exemplifies what the Flame award represents. The impact she has had on women's basketball not only in Northeast Wisconsin, but the Midwest, is immeasurable. We are excited to recognize her achievements."

INDIANAPOLIS -- Sometimes, wins and losses are a matter of perspective. For the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, a tie and a win were not enough to keep the Panthers in the national top 25 according to the Soccer America polls. But that 1-0 victory over previously 22nd-ranked Northern Illinois on Sunday (Oct. 16) impressed the voters in the National Soccer Coaches Association of America, who granted UWM a share of 25th position in their survey Tuesday (Oct. 18).

The Panthers' 8-2-4 overall ledger includes a five-match unbeaten streak which features five consecutive shutouts. The only blemish in that 4-0-1 run (since Oct. 2) was a 0-0 draw with the University of Illinois at Chicago on Wednesday (Oct. 13).

UW-Milwaukee finished 2004 ranked 24th in the nation after reaching the second round of the NCAA Tournament. The Panthers defeated the University of San Francisco, 3-2, before falling, 2-1, in overtime to then-top-ranked Santa Clara University. This year's edition features freshman goalkeeper Grant Fernstrum, who ranks second in the nation with a 0.26 goals-against average. In addition, junior midfielder Craig Mallace leads the League in scoring with 17 points (four goals plus nine assists).
