The Wigan, England is tied for the MEC lead in goals with four while Smith's goal elevated her into a tie for second place in the league in goals along with teammate and senior midfielder Yasmin Mosby.

LIMITED CHANCES

It is the second longest streak of her career behind 333 consecutive minutes of scoreless soccer during the 2019 season that stretched from September 8-October 13. Freshman defender Olivia Bekeleski and junior defender Leigh Wightman have each started during the last three games to assist Marsh in the shutout streak while junior defender Leah Jensen and senior midfielder Elisha Robinson have started the last two games to help keep the opposition out of goal.
