Colorado Christian women's soccer earned their first RMAC win on the season today as they blanked the Colorado Mesa University Mavericks 1-0 in Grand Junction.
 
The Cougars began the game on the defensive as Mesa launched four shots within the first 11 minutes. Freshman Ireland VanDyke started in goal for the Cougars and claimed the first complete game clean sheet for CCU this season. VanDyke matched her season high with eight saves tonight, which she also managed against CSU-Pueblo in late September.
 
CCU scored on their first shot of the game in the 13^th minute when sophomore Madison Hogan lifted a shot from 50 yards out that was on line and made the keeper work. The CMU keeper wasn't able to handle the shot and it bounced off her hands and into the goal.
 
The Cougars would attempt 10 more shots in the game, and Mesa would take 16 shots total through 90 minutes. Ultimately, the Cougar defense would hold strong and hang on for the win.
 
The win brings the Cougars to a record of 4-6-1 for the season, and 1-4-1 in RMAC play. They will play again this weekend on Sunday the 6^th when they travel from Grand Junction, CO, to Salt Lake City, UT, to take on the Griffins of Westminster College at 11:00 a.m.
