UW-Oshkosh posted advantages of 16-2 in shots and 6-1 in corner kicks. The Titans launched seven shots in the first half and nine in the second. Nebraska Wesleyan University was held to just one shot in each period.

UW-Oshkosh's shot count featured three from both Stanley and Jacob Hernandez and two from both Efthimiou and Gonzales. Drew Miller and Nick Palacio each fired one shot for the Prairie Wolves.

UW-Oshkosh goalkeeper Nick Barry saved both Nebraska Wesleyan University shots to record his eighth career shutout. Andy Larson stopped five shots while guarding the Nebraska Wesleyan University goal.

The Titans entered the contest ranked 20th in the NCAA Division III by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America.

UW-Oshkosh opens its home schedule with a match against Wisconsin Lutheran College on Wednesday (Sept. 3) at J. J. Keller Field at Titan Stadium.
