QUINCY, Ill. – The Quincy University women's soccer team traveled to Columbus, Ohio for their first road test of the season against Ohio Dominican University. 

The Hawks took down the Panthers 1-0 on a goal by senior Katie Heiligenstein (Wentzville, MO/St. Dominic).  The Hawks were able to get on the board after a right side corner was cleared out of initial danger by Ohio Dominican. The clearance was played right to Heiligenstein.  She was able to bury her shot from the left side of the box back to the far post to beat the Ohio Dominican goalie. 

The Hawks were able to hold the 1-0 lead for the remainder of the game to bring their record to 1-0 on the young season. 

The Panthers (0-1) were able to test senior goalkeeper Megan Swanson (St. Charles, MO/St. Dominic) with several chances.  Swanson was up to the test, making five saves in the game. 

With the 1-0 victory, Megan Swanson collected her 24th career shutout.

The Hawks outshot the Panthers 24-13, with eight shots on goal compared to five by Ohio Dominican.  Junior Abby Pulliam (St. Louis, MO/Eureka) paced the offense with six shots, three of which were on goal. 

The Hawks travel to Ashland University Saturday (Sept. 2) for the final game on the first road trip of the season.
