WHITEWATER, WIS.—The number 189 was of significance to the Carthage College women's soccer team in their showdown at #10 University of Wisconsin-Whitewater on Sunday afternoon. The Lady Reds haven't surrendered a goal in 189 minutes prior to Sunday and widening that number wasn't going to be an easy task against a Warhawk offense that notched an 11-0 victory over Brooklyn College on September 9.
 
Maggie Washelesky's game-winning goal in a 1-0 overtime win at home against University of Dubuque on Friday night was the momentum Carthage needed to keep the stingy defense intact.
 
The Lady Reds were able to stretch that number to 220, but couldn't generate an answer from that point forward in a 1-0 loss to #10 UW-Whitewater on Sunday afternoon.
 
The Lady Reds fall to 2-2-0, 0-0-0 CCIW while UW-Whitewater improves to 4-1-0, 0-0-0 WIAC.
 
UW-Whitewater 1, Lady Reds 0
 
Momentum from Friday night was evident from the get-go as Carthage out shot the Warhawks 3-2, and generated a corner kick opportunity within the first 20 minutes of the game.
 
A flood of UW-Whitewater substitutions between the 22^nd and 29^th minute proved to be the recipe they needed. Karina Rosales gave UW-Whitewater a 1-0 lead in the 32^nd minute when she put a header to the back of the net.
 
Lady Red goalkeeper Emily Furmanek kept things intact with six saves for the rest of the game. Carthage failed to find offensive flair throughout that time span en route to a 1-0 loss to the Warhawks.
