Rodriguez Ties School Shutout Mark, Saints Remain Unbeaten Over Last Seven Matches

Box Score CROWN POINT, Ind. --- Krystal Rodriguez tied the school record for shutouts in a career and the University of St. Francis women's soccer team ran its unbeaten streak to seven matches in a row with its 2-0 Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference victory over Indiana University Northwest on Wednesday night at the Crown Point Sportsplex.

Rodriguez earned her third clean sheet of the season and the tenth of her career to tie Yadira Estrada (2018-21) for the latter record.  She stopped one shot on goal in each half to register the shutout.

Besides Rodriguez, USF's back line of defense – Claudia Hernandez, Zoe Villont and Emily Galvan – held Indiana Northwest (3-5-4, 2-5-0 CCAC) to just three shots total on the night.  The RedHawks lone attempt in the second half came in the 49th minute.  They would not get a shot off the remaining 40 minutes of the contest.

Scoreless for most of the first half, Kelly Flores broke the 0-0 deadlock just before the break with her fourth goal of the season at the 44-minute mark on an assist from Abbey Janeczek.  The Saints (4-5-5, 4-1-3) then added an insurance goal from Isabel Diez at 64:38 with Andrea Aguirre providing the assist.

The win was USF's third in a row and fourth in five games.  The Saints are 4-0-3 over their last seven contests.

Notes: St. Francis has outscored the opposition 10-1 over its last three matches and 16-2 over its last five affairs … USF's last seven-game unbeaten streak came in 2015 when that team went 5-0-2 over that stretch of matches … Flores' goal forced a three-way tie atop the Saints' leaderboard for goals on the season with Diez and Litzy Mendez before Diez took sole possession of the top spot with her fifth goal of the year 20 minutes later.  Both players have a team-best 11 points … Janeczek and Aguirre both registered their first assists of the season … The Saints are home Saturday night at 5 pm to face CCAC rival Roosevelt University.
