Last Time Out
The Redhawks played to a 0-0 draw against Lindenwood University this past Sunday.

The two teams combined for just 10 shots each as the Redhawks held a 6-4 advantage in shots led by midfielder Zoe Houston

Houston recorded three shots, with all of them on target, as she was one-of-four Redhawks with a shot in the 90-minutes. Emily Baker, Katelyn Miller, and Justi Nelson each finished with one shot. 
 
SEMO's defense was on point in the contest and did not allow Lindenwood to record a shot on target. 

Three Redhawks played the entire 90-minute shift on a hot Sunday afternoon as goalkeeper Sophia Elfrink and defenders Alayna Jakul and Ella Baldwin helped keep a clean sheet in the contest.
