University Heights improved to 6-2-2 with their fifth shutout of the season and denied Fort Campbell their first win at Givens Field since 2004.

Both teams played well defensively with Fort Campbell holding an opponent to two goals or less for the 10th time in 12 games. The Lady Falcons are 7-3 in those games.

UHA outshot Fort Campbell 19-6 with Angel Manalang saving nine shots for the Lady Falcons. Lainey Burnam had three saves for UHA.
