Women's Soccer
SUMMARY
WATERTOWN, Wis. --Â The Sabercats Women's Soccer Team stayed undefeated last week, knocking off Alverno 6-0 before tying Blackburn 1-1 at home. Chloe Dodd grabbed the headlines with a 13-save shutout at Alverno - that mark is a Maranatha Women's Soccer program record for the most saves in a shutout. Dodd was subsequently named as the NCCAA DII Women's Soccer Defensive Player of the Week. Caitlin Lundy scored twice and set up another for five points on the day; Lucy Sainsbury scored her first career goal and Amelia Schroeder reached solo 0th in program history with her 28th career goal.
Â
