SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Black Hills State women's soccer dropped its match, 3-0 against Westminster Friday night at Dumke Field.

The Yellow Jackets (3-8-1, 2-6-1 RMAC) had a strong defensive showing, highlighted by freshman goalkeeper Makayla Dannelly who hauled in a season-high 16 saves on 31 shots faced.

Offensively, BHSU totaled three shots on the night. Emma Avery put up a shot on goal in the 39th minute, while Lexi Crow and Mikayla Hernandez each recorded shots in the second half.
