Carly Pottle (St. Charles, Ill./St. Charles East) scored a goal in each half to lift the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater women's soccer team to a 2-1 victory over Luther College Wednesday night in Whitewater. The Warhawks have won four in a row and improve to 5-1 overall. Luther draws even at 1-1-1 on the season.
 
The Warhawks put pressure on the Norse early, firing four shots in the first 12 minutes of play.
 
Nineteen minutes into the match Pottle corralled a pass from Kaci Schonert (Racine, Wis./Horlick) and knocked it across the goal line to give the Warhawks a 1-0 lead.
 
The lead was short lived as the Norse retaliated with a goal in the 23rd minute to tie the game.
 
With seven minutes left in the half, Jordan Jackson (Lake Zurich, Ill./Lake Zurich) fired a shot on goal but the Luther goalkeeper made the stop and the teams entered halftime tied at one.
 
Brianna Reid (Oak Creek, Wis./Oak Creek) tried to break the tie three minutes into the second half but UW-W was again denied by the Norse keeper.
 
UW-W was relentless with their pressure as the half wore on, recording three more shots on goal before capitalizing in the 84th minute.
 
With time ticking down, Reid found Pottle for her second goal of the game and a 2-1 Warhawk lead.
 
Luther made an effort to send the game to overtime with a header in the 89th minute but Sara Klimisch(Pleasant Prairie, Wis./Indian Trail High School and Academy) was there to make the save and preserve the victory.
 
Klimisch made three saves in the match to improve to 4-0 this season.
 
The Warhawks will travel to Bloomington, Illinois this weekend for a pair of matches hosted by Illinois Wesleyan University. UW-W will face No. 3 Washington-St. Louis on Saturday at 5:30 pm, and pending Saturday's results, the Warhawks will play either No. 17 DePauw or Illinois Wesleyan on Sunday.
