Raiders Roll to Fourth Straight Shutout

DAYTON- The Wright State women's soccer team rolled off their fourth straight 1-0 shutout victory Sunday afternoon At Alumni Field against Detroit Mercy.
 
Wright State (5-5) will continue Horizon League play on Thursday, September 25 as they travel a couple hours west for a match with IU Indy. First touch in Indianapolis is slated for 7 p.m.
 
Detroit Mercy generated some early chances firing three shots on net in the first 10 minutes that were all turned away by goalkeeper, Kiara Sarka.
 
The Raiders would score their lone goal in the 20th minute with some beautiful build up play. Caitlin Burger got the ball around midfield, dribbling it into space before playing a ball out to Samara Nunn on the right wing. Nunn then played a pass to the feet of Olivia Stroud who took a touch and buried the shot across the Detroit Mercy goalkeeper and into the back of the net. The goal is Stroud's first of the season and the second assist of the season for both Burger and Nunn.
 
Wright State would control the pace of play for the rest of the first half and a majority of the second half before Detroit Mercy generated some quality attacks. The Raiders' defense would bend but not break in the final four minutes weathering three Titans' shots that forced two Sarka saves.
 
After 90 more minutes of clean soccer the Raiders have now run their streak up to 398 minutes of play since they last conceded a goal. This is the first time that Wright State has recorded four straight shutout victories since October 2006.
 
In the box score, the two squads were tied in shots (7-7), while Detroit Mercy led in shots on goal (5-3), and Wright State led in (corner kick opportunities (7-3).
