#arv Northwestern 2, Milwaukee 0
Northwestern University scored a pair of goals in a five-minute span following a scoreless first half to hand Milwaukee a 2-0 loss at Lakeside Field.
Milwaukee (4-3-0) placed second (1-1) at the Lakeside Classic, with NU claiming the title at 2-0.
The Panthers, who played without three starters due to injuries, ended up with just a slim 9-to-8 deficit in shots, but could not get things going on the offensive side.
Goalkeeper John Shakon made three saves in the game, with none looking larger than one he made just a minute into the second half. An NU shot from the top of the box was deflected and redirected on its way to the goal, yet Shakon somehow got a hand on it to push it wide and keep it scoreless at the time.
Northwestern took advantage of a scramble in front of the UWM net to break up the scoreless battle, with Henry Herrill picking up a loose rebound and firing it into the net at the 57:44 mark.
Nick Gendron doubled the advantage in the 63rd, heading home a long serve from the sideline back to the near post to add the insurance tally.
The first half was a defensive battle each way, with both teams combining for just six total shots throughout the first 45 minutes.
Rodriguez, Aaron Horvat and James Ashcroft earned All-Tournament Team accolades.
