Cincinnati closes out the regular season 7-2-7, 3-1-4 AAC. With the draw, the Bearcats secured the third seed in the conference tournament and will host the SMU Mustangs at Gettler Stadium on Sunday.
Action throughout the first half was traded in the middle portion of the pitch as both defenses limited opportunities in the attacking third. The Bearcats possessed the 3-1 advantages in corner kicks but were unable to find the back of the net off the set pieces before the break.
Anna Rexford finished with a pair of saves to record her third straight shutout, seventh clean sheet of the season. The junior goalkeeper erased the Pirates' best look of the match with a punch out in the middle of the box off a corner attempt in the 83rd minute.
