HOUGHTON, NY – Sarah Olandt saved 11 shots in the cage, but the #12-ranked University of Rochester Yellowjackets scored two second-half goals to defeat the Houghton Highlanders, 2-0.
 
Olandt and a stingy Highlanders defense held the high-powered Jellowjacket offense, which had scored 11 goals in their previous two games, scoreless throughout the first half.
 
Rochester finally found the back of the cage in the 38^th minute after a quick cross from the left side and a one-time shot.
 
Houghton's best opportunity to tie came 10 minutes later when Caitlin Jennings received a cross at the top of the circle, dribbled right and ripped a shot that the Rochester keeper deflected with her pads.
 
The Yellowjackets would add an insurance goal in the 67^th minute and hold off the Highlander attack to secure the victory.

COACH'S CORNER
"I was happy with the way the girls responded to the great competition U of R brought today.  We played a great defensive game, with especially great games from our back three and our goalkeeper.  

"I've yet to see the girls this disciplined throughout a full 70 minute game.  I'm excited to see this kind of play continue to develop in the upcoming weeks." -Head Coach Hannah Ogden
