// SERIES HISTORY

// LAST TIME OUT
The Bearcats controlled both ends of the pitch, out shooting Central Michigan 21-9 and holding them to just two first-half attempts in a 2-0 shutout.
Senior Faith Broering claimed the Bearcats’ first goal at the 65-minute mark with the assist from sophomore Jada Arthurs. The veteran defender already has two goals this season - the first goals of her career.
20 minutes later, Arthurs fired off her own goal at the 82-minute mark with assist from senior Coley Sidloski. It was the first goal of the season for Arthurs, and the second of her career.
