OMAHA, Neb. – Freshman Hannah Bormann (Amana, Iowa) scored her first career goal as the Drake University women's soccer team blanked Creighton, 1-0, Wednesday night at Morrison Stadium in Omaha.
 
Bormann's goal was scored in the 62^nd minute (62:24) as she recovered a loose ball on a Drake (4-3-1) corner kick and put it in the back of the Creighton (1-6-1) net. Junior Alyssa Brand (Skokie, Ill.) was credited with her second assist of the season.
 
"This was a good road win for us," said head coach Lindsey Horner. "We worked hard for our shutout and are coming home with some tired legs. Our back four were solid defensively, but we were not quite as sharp on the ball as we have been up to this point, which led to some of their best chances. We adjusted our style a bit in preparation for today, and fine-tuned it at halftime, and the players did a good job of adjusting. We protected our goalkeeper in the first half, but naturally the game opened up and Haley (Morris) was solid for us when we needed her late in the game. We had a lot of players execute their role today, and they should feel good about earning the result and for taking another step towards getting better."
 
Morris made four saves as Drake snapped a two-match losing streak to its former Missouri Valley Conference rival. Seniors Rebecca Rodgers (Peotone, Ill.) and Rachel Wanninger (Johnston, Iowa) each recoded one shot on goal. It is the third shutout this season for the Bulldogs.
 
Drake will host UIC on Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m. at the Cownie Soccer Complex. Sunday's match will be broadcast online via The Valley on ESPN3.
