GAME OVERVIEW
Lindenwood field hockey's defense was stifling against Belmont Abbey, allowing only one shot over 60 minutes to top the Crusaders 3-0 in Louisville, Ky. Mackenzie Litterst played the entire game in goal, her first shutout of the season. The win brings the Lions to 7-5 overall this season.
