For the fourth straight game, all Bethel victories, Anne Fazio (Sr., Holland, Mich.) scored a goal for the Royals.

“We played well together and did a good job of utilizing the space they gave us on the flanks,” said Bethel head coach Amanda Maxwell. “We created a lot of chances from different players and two of them found the back of the net. Defensively we were glad to get another hard fought shutout.”
