The defense of the UW-Oshkosh men's soccer team played to near perfection as the Titans posted to a 2-0 victory over Marian University on Wednesday (Sept. 16) at J.J. Keller Field at Titan Stadium.

UW-Oshkosh's defense shined and didn't allow a single shot the entire match. The Titans yielded just one corner kick, that coming in the 53rd minute of play.

Leading the offense for UW-Oshkosh were Brandon Briones (Jr. • Menasha) with five shots, Korjenic with four and Howell with three.
