The Fontbonne University women's soccer team posted their third straight victory as well as their third straight shutout on Saturday defeating Spalding University 3-0. The Griffns improved to 6-8 overall and 4-1 in the St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SLIAC).
The Griffins opened the scoring in the 17th as junior Erica Kaiping scored her first goal of the game off a corner kick by freshman Paige Pfankuch. The Griffins doubled their lead just moments later as senior Anna Hotop scored in the 25th minute off an assist from junior Kelly Lange.
The Griffins took that 2-0 lead into halftime as they held Spalding to just two shots in the opening 45 minutes.
In the second half, Kaiping put the game out of reach in the 82nd minute as she scored her second goal of the game. Senior Kaniz Abbas recorded her third straight shutout and tallied for saves in the game. Abbas and the Griffins have now held opponents scoreless for 289 straight minutes.
Fontbonne will look to continue that streak on Wednesday night as they host Westminster College at 8:00 pm. The Wednesday night game will also serve as Fontbonne's Breast Cancer Awareness game.
