Alyssa Schichner scored in the 71st minute, and the St. Ambrose defense kept Trinity International off the board to take a 1-0 victory Saturday in Deerfield, Ill. With the win, the Bees move to 9-3-3 overall and 8-1-2 in the CCAC. The Trojans are 4-11-2 and 3-8-1 in conference.

Tied 0-0 after the first half, Rachel Willette made a save early in the second period to keep the game even. In the 59th minute, Trinity International had three consecutive shot attempts, but Willette stopped two and the other went wide. Kendall Wendt and Taylor DeSplinter had chances for the Bees in the 61st and 62nd minutes, but neither could find the back of the net. SAU got the game-winner in the 71st on a shot from Schichner. It was Schichner's third goal of the season. Willette and the St. Ambrose backline held on from there to take the 1-0 win.

Mary Evans had the first chance to start the game, but her shot was saved in the 8th minute. Abigail Goff got opportunities in the 13th and 15th minutes but both missed the mark. Willette made one of her three saves in the half in the 35th minute to keep the game tied. Halliee Willson had the last chance for the Bees in the first half, but her attempt was saved and the teams headed to the break knotted at zero.

Willette made a game-high seven saves in the victory. DeSplinter, Adriane Latham, Natalie Miller, and Daniya El-Zein played the full 90 for the Bees along with Willette. Schichner and DeSpliner each recorded three shots.
