ST. CHARLES, Mo. – No. 23 Griffon Soccer (7-1) got back into the win column in its MIAA opener at Lindenwood (3-5), Sunday afternoon.

The Griffons held Lindenwood without a single shot in the second half. Sarah Lyle needed just one save to pick up a shared save, the fifth of the season for the senior.
 
Bridget Blessie put MWSU up 1-0 in the 22^nd minute on a goal from Cassidy Menke. Sara Collins added the Griffons' other goal in the 40^th minute off an assist from Madeline Cowell. The assist for Cowell again moved her into the all-time lead on the MWSU list. Cowell and teammate Sydney Cluck have been taking their turns as MWSU's all-time assists leaders so far this season.
