Nationally ranked University of Chicago (Ill.) held UW-Oshkosh to just two shots as it defeated the Titans, 3-0, in a women's soccer match held Saturday (Sept. 23) at J. J. Keller Field at Titan Stadium.

The Maroons (8-0), who entered the contest ranked second in the NCAA Division III by the United Soccer Coaches, recorded their decisive goal 17 minutes into action. The University of Chicago then secured the win with two scores in the game's final seven minutes.

Hanna Watkins put University of Chicago, a semifinalist in last year's NCAA postseason tournament, ahead with her 10-yard header off a cross from Mackenzie Peebles at the 16:51 mark of the opening period.

The score remained 1-0 until the Maroons' Jenna McKinney kicked a 5-yard shot into the goal during the contest's 84th minute (83:29). McKinney's goal followed a pass from Madori Spiker.

The University of Chicago then tripled its lead on a goal by Claudia Hodgetts with 2:41 (87:19) remaining. Hodgetts scored from 18 yards with the help of a McKinney pass.
