CINCINNATI – The University of Cincinnati women's soccer program defeated Butler, 2-0, on Thursday night inside Gettler Stadium.
The Bearcats move to 4-1-1 after recording their first shutout of the season. Fifth-year goalkeeper Anna Rexford secured the shutout by notching a career-high eight saves.
Cincinnati broke the first half scoring drought with a goal in the 56th minute by freshman Rylee Felton. The reigning Big 12 Freshman of the Week recorded her fourth straight game with a goal. She now has a team-high six on the season.
The Bearcats put their foot on the gas when fifth-year Ellie Flower nailed another goal in the 69th minute to increase UC's lead, 2-0. She has three goals this season, tying her career high.
Rexford remained poised in goal as she faced 13 total shots, the most so far this season. Butler had a clear attempt to put itself on the board but due to an offside call, the goal was ruled no good.
Cincinnati travels up the road to take on the Xavier Musketeers on Sunday at 7 p.m. for its final non-conference game of the season.
