Box Score DENVER - University of Denver senior midfielders Mariah Johnston (Littleton, Colo.) and Kelli Breidenbach (Fort Collins, Colo.) combined for the only goal, as the Pioneers shut out North Texas 1-0 at the University of Denver Soccer Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
In the 20th minute, Johnston dribbled from the right side of the field and fed Breidenbach inside the box for a one-timer from eight yards.
That was the only goal Denver (14-5-1, 9-2-0 SBC) needed, as freshman goalkeeper Lara Campbell, (Anchorage, Alaska) recorded six saves for the shutout. Freshman goalkeeper Haley Newsom also recorded six saves in her first career start for the Mean Green (11-6-2, 7-2-2 SBC).
The Pioneers' victory clinches the No. 2 seed in the Sun Belt Conference Tournament in Boca Raton, Fla. Denver will meet the No. 7 seed on Wednesday at 2 p.m. MT. The Pioneers are looking for their fourth-straight SBC Tournament title and NCAA Tournament appearance.
Florida International, which won its last seven games, is the No. 1 seed in the tournament.
