Hawks take over first place with win over McKendree

The Rockhurst Hawks edged No. 17 McKendree by a score of 1-0 Friday afternoon at Bourke Field to take over first place in the GLVC.

Elle Guttman found the back of the net in the 24th minute off a well-taken free kick from Jillian Leetch. Guttman beat the defense to the middle of the box and got a foot to Leetch's cross from the right sideline from five yards out.

Goalkeeper Megan Meyers posted a clean sheet for the Hawks, racking up five saves. McKendree outshot Rockhurst 13-7, including a couple good chances late in the second half, but Meyers and the Rockhurst defense stepped up and kept the Bearcats off the board.

Guttman, Leetch and Hannah Lauer each attempted two shots for the Hawks, tying for the team lead.

With the win, Rockhurst improves to 9-1 (7-1 GLVC) on the season. The Hawks return to Bourke Field Sunday, taking on Southern Indiana at 12:00 p.m.
