OSHAWA, Ont. – It may be a new month but it was the same result for the UOIT women's soccer team on Saturday afternoon. For their 4th straight game the Ridgebacks earned a 1-0 victory, this time beating Ryerson on home turf.
 
UOIT outplayed Ryerson in the opening stages of the game but goalkeeper Brittney Clendenan came up with a number of key saves, including a diving stop off the foot of Jessica Mithrush (Thunder Bay, Ont.) from just outside the box.
 
The Ridgebacks were finally rewarded for their strong play just before halftime as Shynice Williams (Mississauga, Ont.) slipped between the Ryerson defenders and chipped it by the charging goalkeeper.
 
UOIT's defence stood strong in the second half as Ryerson failed to record a shot on target.
 
Freshman goalkeeper Helen Frampton (Toronto, Ont.) extended her shutout streak to 444 minutes as she stopped both of Ryerson's first half shots. UOIT has allowed a league low three goals against in eight games this season.
 
With the win, UOIT sweeps the season series with Ryerson having won both games by a 1-0 scoreline.
 
The Ridgebacks (6-2-0) will have a big game on Sunday night when they host the Toronto Varsity Blues (6-2-1). Toronto is one point ahead of UOIT for second place in the conference but have played one more game.
 
Sunday's game has been moved to the Oshawa Civic with kick-off now taking place at 6:30 p.m.
