GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) --- The Green Bay women's soccer team took the pitch on the road for the final time in the 2018 season on Wednesday night, battling UIC at Flames Field in double overtime. Although in a losing effort, the Phoenix (2-12-1, 0-6-1) enjoyed goals from seniors Alycia Wright and Mara Pfeilstifter in the 3-2 loss.
 
The Flames (4-12-1, 3-4-0) were the first to score, as Megan Bowman capitalized on an opportunity in the 16^th minute after teammate Emily Kavanaugh sent a low cross to Bowan who found the back of the net from five yards out.
 
Wright evened the game at one-all in the 41^st minute after a long pass from Kayla Minor allowed Wright to beat the Flames' Keeper one-on-one. It was Wright's fourth goal of the season.
 
After UIC took the lead in the 53^rd minute, Green Bay began its search for the equalizer with time rapidly winding down. A Phoenix attack in the 87^th sent the ball bouncing off the UIC goalkeeper and to the foot of Mara Pfeilstifter, who buried a shot into the net to force overtime.
 
The first overtime period ended with no score, but minutes into the second overtime UIC's Kavanaugh was able to fire a shot into the Phoenix net and seal a victory at home, 3-2.
