Atherton, CA- On Saturday, Arizona Christian Women's Soccer put four of their five shots on goal but could not find the net as they fell 4-0 at Menlo.

The Firestorm (5-7-1, 1-4-1 GSAC) actually took two of the first three shots in the game- both requiring saves.  Freshman Veronica Cruz took the first shot five and a half minutes into play and then Senior Tasha Coleman put a free kick on goal.  Unfortunately, the Oaks (6-4-2, 2-3-1 GSAC) scored on the middle of the three shots- their first of the day- for an early 1-0 lead.

ACU would not get another shot off in the first half and in the 29th minute Menlo converted their second goal for a 2-0 lead at the break.

Menlo hit the first shot of the second half 1:48 into action.

Arizona Christian countered with the next two shots- Cruz went high and Sophomore Marisa Ortiz got behind the defense for a 1-on-1 but her shot was saved.

Fifteen minutes into half number two, Menlo went ahead 3-0.  They added their fourth and final goal in the 84th minute.  In between the MC goals, Sophomore Braxton Carhart launched a free kick toward goal but that was also saved.

Freshman Mikaela Bushey made six saves after subbing into the match in the first half.

On Thursday, the Firestorm will play against Ottawa (AZ)- which must be played as a scrimmage for ACU because they would exceed their match limit if played as a countable contest.  The scrimmage will be played at Arizona State West in Glendale at 5:30 pm.
