GREEN BAY, Wisc. (10/13/2018) -- Freshman Nasreen Kobeissi sent the Titans home a winner on Saturday evening with the rookie booting the game-winning goal in overtime as the University of Detroit Mercy women's soccer team blanked Green Bay, 1-0, on the road.

It was the second-straight game that Kobeissi has found the back of the net. 

Detroit Mercy (5-7-3, 1-4-1 HL) and Green Bay (2-11-1, 0-5-1 HL) were equal in almost every category for 90 minutes, but less than two minutes into overtime, Kobeissi was able to get by her defender and fire a shot high and over the goalie for the victory.

Senior Marina Manzo made four saves in net, pushing her season total to 94 and moving into ninth place all-time in a single season at Detroit Mercy.

Both teams had six shots on net with five on goal for the Titans and four for the Phoenix. Detroit Mercy also had a 3-2 edge in corner kicks.

The red, white and blue will now look to extend its streak to three in a  row when the Titans host Cleveland State on Wednesday. Game time is set for 4 p.m. at Titan Field. 

First Half:

• The Titans had an early opportunity as senior Carly Fiorido's shot at 5:33 was saved

• The Phoenix had a look on net, but Manzo denied it at 81:13

First Overtime:
