Middle Tennessee Women's Soccer played to a 0‑0 stalemate against UT Martin on Tuesday, closing out a three‑match road swing without surrendering a goal.
The result extends the Blue Raiders' unbeaten start to 2‑0‑1 and adds a third consecutive shutout, a feat not seen since the early weeks of the 2015 season.
Defensive Dominance Fuels Momentum
Head coach Aston Rhoden praised the back line's discipline, noting that the opposition managed fewer than 10 shots across the three‑game stretch and that the team limited high‑quality chances. Defender Mya Stenehjem's long‑range effort was fingertip‑saved by UT Martin's Mac Titus, while forward Hailey Phillips forced a similar reaction with a strike from outside the box.
Goalkeeper Demi Gronauer was the linchpin of the defensive masterclass, making two second‑half saves and stretching her personal scoreless streak to 273 minutes.
Upcoming Road Trip and Home Stretch
The Blue Raiders will next travel to West Georgia on August 23 before returning home for a three‑game homestand that opens with a matchup against Miami (OH) on August 27.
