Women's Soccer wraps up long road swing with win over Saint Francis

FORT WAYNE, Ind. – The No. 13 ranked Spring Arbor University women's soccer team wrapped up its five-match road swing on Saturday with a 1-0 victory over the University of Saint Francis.

HOW IT HAPPENED

  • Spring Arbor outshot Saint Francis 12-0 in the first half, but 11 saves from the USF goalkeeper kept the Cougars off the scoreboard.
  • SAU was able to breakthrough in the early stages of the second half. The home team failed to clear a cross from Kaley Buck and the loose ball eventually found the foot of Thorne, who blasted a low shot past the diving keeper.
  • Spring Arbor finished the night outshooting Saint Francis 28-0 and held a 7-0 advantage in corner kicks.

 
 

BEYOND THE BOX SCORE

  • Spring Arbor picked up its 13th consecutive victory over Saint Francis dating back to the 2008 season.
  • It was the second time in the last three seasons that SAU has held Saint Francis without a shot. In 2017, the Cougars outshot USF 18-0 in a 5-0 victory.
