Phoenix, AZ- Outshot over two to one, Arizona Christian just allowed just one goal against Menlo on Thursday.  Unfortunately, the Oaks made that one goal stand up as they beat the Firestorm 1-0.

Following a foul by Menlo just about a minute into the match, Freshman Braxton Carhart delivered the free kick from 25 yards out on goal but was turned away.

Freshman Marisa Ortiz hit the first of her three first half shots but saw it blocked in the 16th minute.

Carhart sent her second shot over the crossbar following a corner.

At the break, the Oaks had outshot the Firestorm 13-5 but the score remained 0-0.

However, that changed just 45 seconds into the second half when Menlo dribbled down the left side and connected on a cross into the back of the net.

Ortiz had two more looks in the final 45 minutes while Freshman Kylie Neafus, Junior Rianna Poarch, and Sophomore Taylor Baker all cracked shots but came up empty.

Senior Serenity Masterson recorded eight saves including a diving stop on a header headed for the side of the net.

The Firestorm return to the Rose Mofford Sports Complex on Saturday when they host William Jessup at 11:00 am.
