Freshman goalkeeper Morgan Wirz stood firm this past weekend, offering her first collegiate shutout in a 1-0 win for ART U women's soccer over Hawaii Pacific on Sept. 26.

After stopping two Sharks shots on frame in a scoreless first half, Wirz and the Urban Knights were boosted by a goal from sophomore midfielder Aliya Salas early in the first half. As conditions became wet and muddy out at Atherton Field, Wirz proceeded to amass seven of her season-high nine total saves in the second period to pick up her first win as a collegiate goalkeeper.

"Morgan came up huge and that's a confidence builder for our back line," said head coach Katie Awerkamp. "We've been trying to find flow back there so what a huge day for her and the defense. We're happy with the way we played."
