MILWAUKEE-The UWM men's soccer team finished their regular season with a tie and a win in MCC match-up last week. They end up in fourth place of the MCC standings with a 4-2-1 record, and are 10-8-1 overall.

On Wednesday, the Panthers were forced to settle for the 1-1 draw after completely dominating UW-Green Bay in the attack as they outshot the Phoenix, 39-15. Down 1-0 in the second half, UWM got a lift from defender Chad Dombrowski (West Allis, Wis./Hale) when he scored the equalizer on a diving header in the 85th minute.

Posing an unfamiliar starting lineup, the UWM men's soccer team accomplished more than one goal in their 1-0 victory over Cleveland State on Saturday night in Ohio. The Panthers were able to rest several key starters and still capture a victory in conference match-up as they head into Tuesday's quarterfinal game of the MCC tournament.

Junior forward Ryan Seymour (Portage, Mich./Northern) scored the winning goal in the 81st minute, finishing near post off assists from senior Blake Bostwick (Port Washington, Wis./Port Washington) and freshman Bobby Lish (Shoreview, Minn./Moundsview).
