LAST TIME OUT
For the second-straight game the Gaels posted a shutout as Taylor Poland made four saves in the scoreless tie against No. 13 Pepperdine, and all of them came at critical junctures in the second half and overtime for her seventh shutout of the season. The Gaels defense kept the explosive Waves from generating any quality chances -- especially in the first 45 minutes -- by tightly protecting their goal.
