DENVER – The University of Denver women's soccer team posted its sixth shutout of the season, earning a 2-0 victory over Omaha on Saturday.
 
Senior Kaitlyn Glover scored the game winner in the 18^t4h minute with assists from graduate student Sami Feller and junior Addisyn Hyrup. Graduate student Camryn MacMillan added an insurance goal eight and a half minutes into the second half.
 
COACH'S NOTES:
From head coach Jeff Hooker: "I was super happy with getting the first goal. We talked at halftime about not allowing them to have easy chances with us giving the ball away or turnovers, and the second goal was the key. I thought we fought hard for it, and it gave us a little cushion for error. We were able to go deep into our bench with us only having one game on the weekend, so we went with some fresh legs for the rest of the second half, and it worked."
 
SIGNIFICANT STATS:

• Glover's goal was her third in the last two matches and her first game winner of the year.
