Indianapolis - The UWM women's soccer team had a setback in its quest to regain the MCC conference title by losing at Butler, 3-1, on Sunday. The Panthers fell to a tie for second in the MCC with Wright State at 3-1. Butler moved into sole possession of the conference lead as they moved to 4-0.

"It'still wide open," said Moynihan of the conference title. "If Wright State beats Butler and we beat (UW) Green Bay, we should be in good standing for the number one seed."

Katie Waltenberger (Racine, Wis.-Horlick) scored her fourth goal of the season with just 30 seconds left in the first half to tie the game at one heading into halftime. The goal moves her into the team scoring lead with 10 points on the year.

But Butler's offense came out firing in the secone half, outshooting the Panthers 10-3 in the period. The Bulldogs' Martha Gudiel scored the game winner with less than five minutes to play in regulation. Butler tacked on a final goal in the final minute of the contest.

"They built well out of the back, and our midfield didn't know how to react," said UWM head coach Michael Moynihan. "We didn't establish pressure on the ball and they got a couple free serves. We just didn't clear it."

UWM plays host to Creighton on Friday at Uihlein Soccer Park at 7:00 p.m.
