Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – The St. Thomas women's soccer team played the 16^th ranked team in the nation to a scoreless tie on Sunday afternoon at Bobcat Field.  With the tie, along with a 5-0 win over Johnson & Wales on Friday, the Bobcats improved to 8-3-2 overall and 5-1-2 in The Sun Conference, good for the third-best record in the conference. 
 
St. Thomas dominated play for much of the 110 minutes vs. Northwood, a team which entered Sunday's game with a perfect 8-0 record in conference play.  The Bobcats had multiple quality chances to score with nine shots on goal compared to just two shots on goal by the Seahawks.  In total, St. Thomas outshot Northwood 21-9 and had seven corner kicks, including six in the second half, compared to just two corner kicks for the visitors.
 
Senior goalkeeper Victoria Shahbaz earned the shutout in goal for the full 110 minutes of play.  The St. Thomas defense, led by central defenders Emelie Johansson and Courtney Trujillo, protected the STU goal area throughout the game.  As a result, Shahbaz was only called upon to make two saves, with one coming on a Northwood free kick.
