GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay women's soccer team and Omaha played to a 0-0 tie Sunday at home at Aldo Santaga Stadium. Green Bay has now shutout opponents in three out of its four games played.
Green Bay moved to 3-0-1 overall after the draw, remaining undefeated through four matches for the first time since 1996.
"This was a typical Sunday game," said head coach Matt Kagan. "It was a hard fought match that in the end I felt was a fair result. I thought our second half play was very good in terms of keeping the ball, but we didn't turn that possession into quality scoring chances…but the good news is we also were very good defensively and earned another shutout!"
HOW IT HAPPENED
Green Bay totaled seven shots in the scoreless tie, with one of them on goal. The Phoenix held Omaha to only three shots with just two shots on goal all in the first five minutes of the game.
Early in the second half it appeared Kendall Jackson had given Green Bay the lead on a header goal from a corner kick off the boot of Ava Nielsen, but an offsides call by a Phoenix attacker wiped the goal off the board. The score remained 0-0, as neither team found the net eventually resulting in the draw.

- Green Bay received one yellow card to Laney Stark in the 89th minute.
