DETROIT (9/28/19) -- The University of Detroit Mercy women's soccer team pitched a shutout on Student Appreciation Night and a defensive matchup between Horizon League conference foe Green Bay Phoenix as the game ended in a 0-0 draw in the first-ever night home women's soccer game in school history.

Detroit Mercy (2-6-2, 0-1-1 HL) and Green Bay (6-4-1, 0-1-1 HL) combined for just 14 shots as defense was showcased all over the field.
