TOPEKA, Kan. – The Missouri Western soccer team won its program-record seventh MIAA game of the 2017 season with its 10th shutout of the year Friday night at Washburn 1-0.

All it took for Missouri Western to get to 13-2 overall and 7-1 in the MIAA was a Bridget Blessie goal in the 13th minute off a Madeline Cowell corner kick. Playing without Sarah Lyle, the Griffons limited Washburn (8-6-1, 4-4) to just two shots on goal and Lexie Martin saved them both.

The Griffons out-shot Washburn 8-6 with the two more shots coming in the first half. The two teams were even at six on corner kicks and the Griffons had three more fouls than the Ichabods. Cassidy Menke had five of the team’s shots with one on goal. Blessie, Sarah Blakley and Megan Maenner had the other three shots for the team.

UP NEXT
The fourth of five-straight road games for the Griffons, who have yet to lose a road conference game, comes Sunday at Emporia State (6-7-2, 2-5-1).
