Gonzaga wins first-ever meeting between the programs

LAWRENCE, Kan. – In the first-ever meeting between the programs, Gonzaga women's soccer held off Kansas on the road Sunday, 1-0.

Lauren Towne was exceptional in the Bulldog (2-2-1) net. The senior made five saves and punched away several crosses to keep the Jayhawks scoreless. With Towne's impressive saves and a stingy GU defense, the Zags picked up their second shutout of the season.

The lone score in the match came from Gonzaga's Erin Ewers in the 59^th minute. The Spokane native scored for the second time this season after chipping a shot over the Kansas goalkeeper. Amelia Severn recorded her first assist of the season.

The Jayhawks (2-1-2) were handed their first loss of the season, despite outshooting GU 19-4. Kansas had a 5-3 edge in shots on goal and 7-6 advantage in corner kicks. Sophie Dawe had a pair of saves in the Kansas net.

The Zags are back on the road at Illinois-Chicago (1-3-0) next Sunday at 11 a.m. Pacific Time. The first meeting between the Bulldogs and Flames will be on ESPN Plus, with live stats on GoZags.com.
