UW-Oshkosh clinched its first 10-win women's soccer season since 2006 with a 3-1 victory over the Milwaukee School of Engineering on Thursday (Oct. 20) at J.J. Keller Field at Titan Stadium.

The Titans (10-5), who scored all three of their goals in the first half, won their fifth straight match for the second time this season. UW-Oshkosh also won five consecutive contests from Oct. 10-24.

Jessica Erny (Sr. • Wauwatosa) gave UW-Oshkosh a 1-0 lead with a 10-yard kick in the game's 15th minute (14:19) of play. Her second goal of the season was assisted by Amanda Leach (Jr. • Waukesha).

The Titans closed their scoring on Kelsey Daulton's (Fr. • Elk River, Minn.) first collegiate goal in the 41st minute (40:24) of play. Daulton's goal from one-yard out was assisted by Kali Jahn (Fr. • Oregon).

The Milwaukee School of Engineering (10-7) cut its deficit to 3-1 on Paul Bohl's three-yard kick in the contest's 69th minute (68:08).
