WALTHAM, Mass. – University of Chicago women's soccer hopped back into UAA play after a big non-conference win against Illinois Tech on Monday when they battled Brandeis in their first road contest since September 23^rd. The match looked like it would end in a stalemate before a late goal gave the Maroons their first conference victory of the season on Saturday.  

RESULT
University of Chicago – 1
Brandeis – 0

HOW IT HAPPENED

• The University of Chicago (9-2-3, 1-1-1 UAA) dominated the first half, outshooting Brandeis (6-4-3, 0-3 UAA) 5-0 and earning the opening frame's lone corner kick. However, not a single one of those shots would get past the Judges' keeper in a scoreless period.
• Brandeis found their offense in the second stanza and turned the tables on the Maroons by outshooting them 10-6. Four of those shots found their way to UChicago's keeper Sophie Pilarski but the junior denied each attempt to keep the win within reach.
• It looked like the Maroons would have to settle for their second tie of conference play with time ticking down, but they finally lit up the scoreboard in the 86^th minute. Sophomore Mary Stuart Kerrigan set up Hannah Rittenhouse for the senior's third game winner of the year as UChicago earns the thrilling 1-0 decision.
