Women's Soccer shuts out second straight opponent in Shawnee State

(Rochester Hills, MI) - The Rochester Christian women's soccer team continued its season on Saturday afternoon with a matchup against the Bears of Shawnee State. The Warriors used a second-half goal to leave with a 1-0 victory. RCU improves to 4-2-0 on the season, while Shawnee State falls to 1-5-1.

Mackenzie Fournier (1-0-0) made her first start of the season and also earned her first complete game shutout with five saves.

The second 45 minutes saw the Bears and Warriors both take their fair share of shots throughout the period. Following an SSU foul, RCU earned a free kick from about 30 yards out, where she was able to beat the Bears' keeper high for the 1-0 lead in the 51st minute.
