CLEVELAND, Ohio - Milwaukee scored five first half goals, including four in the first 19 minutes and claimed a 7-0 win over Cleveland State in Horizon League action on Friday night at Krenzler Field.

CSU fell to 4-8-1 overall and 0-3-1 in the Horizon League, while Milwaukee improved to 11-2-2 (3-1 HL).

"Milwaukee is a very good team with a lot of speed and they are extremely technical," head coach Derek Falor said. "They came out with a point to prove and did just that. This just goes to show that it is important to have some intensity in training. We need to come out with a lot of passion and intensity on Sunday and get back on track."

Kayla DeJardin got the Panthers on the board at the 13:57 mark with an unassisted tally and Keara Thompson made it 2-0 less than a minute later with her second goal of the season.

Sarah Hagan scored the Panthers next two goals, coming at the 18:37 mark off a Kate Megna assist and one minute later off an assist from Erin Kreuser. There were her 12th and 13th goals of the season.
