Newark, N.J. – The No. 3 Washington University in St. Louis women's soccer team handed No. 22 NYU its first UAA loss with a 1-0 road win. The Bears are 12-0 overall with a 3-0 mark in conference play and remain the lone team across all divisions to not concede a goal yet this season.
 
With just over five minutes left to play, sophomore Grace Ehlert took a pass from Ella Koleno and scored the game-winning goal. It marks Ehlert's fifth goal of the season, which ranks second among the Bears.
 
NYU outshot the Bears 19-7 and 8-4 in shots on goal. Senior goalkeeper Sidney Conner faced the most shots in a game so far this season, coming up with eight saves en route to her 10^th blank sheet of the year. She ranks No. 1 in Division III in save percentage (1.000) and shutouts (10) while the Bears rank first in goals-against average (.000).
 
The Bears had their first shot on goal at the 8:19 mark as a shot from Koleno was saved by an NYU defender. Regan Cannon followed up with a shot less than 20 seconds later, which was saved by the Violets goalkeeper Tyler Hawkins.
 
Conner faced her first shot in the 24^th minute, stopping a shot from NYU's Riley Mullady. She made another play on a Kelli Keady shot in the 31^st minute.
 
NYU had the first shot on goal of the second half, again by Keady, which was stopped by Conner. She then made a pair of saves in the 63^rd minute on shots from Hope Neale and Keady.
 
The Bears had another chance in the 70^th minute, but Ehlert's shot was saved by Hawkins and sent the other way.
 
Conner came up again for the Bears in the 80^th minute, stopping another shot from Keady. Another stop from Conner on an Elizabeth Argenziano shot in the 84^th minute was the beginning of the Bears offensive attack which led to a goal just over a minute later.
 
WashU hits the road again next weekend for a pair of games, starting with a 1 p.m. ET match at Carnegie Mellon on Friday followed by an 11 a.m. ET match at Case Western Reserve on Sunday.
