ST. JOSEPH, Minn. - The Bethel Royals were unable to break out of their scoring funk today as they were topped by the Saint Benedict Blazers 3-0.

The Royals put a total of seven shots on net in the game, a majority of which came in the first half.  Both Krista Polding (So., Waconia, Minn.) and Sophie Christiansen (Fr., Portland, Ore.) had two shots on net apiece.

Once again, the goalkeeper for the Royals, Charli Sorensen (Sr., Park Ridge, Ill.), played a big role in the game today, as she saved eight of the 11 shots that the Blazers put on net. Sorensen now has 61 saves for the season, which places her in the top spot for saves in the MIAC. She is also third in the MIAC in save percentages with .836 and needs just 19 more to set a new Bethel school record.
