The San Angelo Native Carley Martinez would find the back of the net for the first goal of her career.

With the Shutout Martinez would record her third clean sheet of the year.
The Belles would record their 11th yellow card of the season.
From Head Coach Travis McCorkle:
"We've been playing well. We had a good first half, and then we've let our foot off the gas and let teams back in games. Today was not that. We showed heart and intelligence. We were much improved in our aerial game. OCU has some dangerous players and a direct approach that works for them. We earned the shutout today as a team. Great to win on the road. Now we go home, take care of our body and mind to be ready to continue our upward momentum.
