HOUSTON, Texas – Junior goalkeeper Allison Leone logged her fifth consecutive clean sheet and senior Iris Dunn’s 15th minute goal proved to be the match-winner as WKU remained perfect in C-USA play with a 1-0 victory at Rice on Friday evening.
The Lady Toppers (8-3-0, 3-0-0) sit atop the C-USA standings following their fifth straight shutout, a streak that now spans 533 minutes since WKU last surrendered a goal against LSU on Sept. 8. Friday’s victory was also the first in program history against the Owls (4-4-1, 1-2-0), who were picked to finish second in the preseason C-USA coaches’ poll.
