WASHINGTON, D.C. - In a battle for the top spot in the BIG EAST standings, Xavier women's soccer played No. 18 Georgetown to a 0-0 draw on Thursday afternoon at Shaw Field, pushing both teams to 4-0-1 in BIG EAST play. The Musketeers move to 10-2-2 overall on the season.

In a scoreless first half, the Musketeers held the 7-3 advantage on overall shots going into the break, but the Hoyas had a 3-1 advantage on shots on-frame. Ella Rogers and Emma Flick each had a pair of shots to lead Xavier, while Maria Galley collected two saves to keep GU scoreless in the first 45 minutes.

In the second half, the Musketeers continued to hold the advantage on offense, out-shooting the Hoyas 8-3 overall and 3-1 on shots on-frame but were unable to find the back of the net, setting the final score at 0-0 after 90 minutes of action. Sonia Vargas and Chloe Netzel had a pair of shots in the second half to lead Xavier, and Emma Flick added another, a look that went off the crossbar, to finish with three shots for the day. Maria Galley collected her third save of the day in the second half to keep the Hoyas scoreless.

Next up, the Musketeers return home to host UConn on Sunday, October 9, set for a 1:00 p.m. start on the BIG EAST Digital Network.
