Another shutout, this time against the Clark Cougars, gave the girls soccer team their fifth win this season. The 3-0 victory Jan. 28 marks their fourth shutout in the first seven games.

For nearly half of the first half, the score was deadlocked at 0-0, but then junior midfielder Ana Campa broke the silence with a goal 19 minutes into the half. From then on, the team would control the game. Junior forward Kyra Falcone capped the first half with another goal and would later assist on the third score by sophomore forward Ashton Woods in the second half.
