NORMAN, Okla. -- The University of Michigan women's soccer team played its third straight shutout contest, blanking Oklahoma 2-0 Friday night (Sept. 1) at John Crain Field. Melissa Dobbyn (Livonia, Mich./Stevenson) and Katelin Spencer (Brighton, Mich./Brighton) each scored in the second half. Megan Tuura (Tucker, Ga./St. Pius X Catholic) made three saves in the first half to help U-M to the shutout victory. The win is head coach Debbie Rademacher's 150th at Michigan.
The first half featured no scoring for the third straight contest. Tuura had to come up with three key saves as OU tripled Michigan's shots on goal in the beginning stanza. U-M carried the shot total 8-6 as the teams entered halftime scoreless.
Dobbyn connected just 1:28 into the second half to give the Wolverines a 1-0 advantage. Emily Kalmbach (Coto de Caza, Calif./Santa Margarita Catholic) sent a cross into the penalty area and Dobbyn finished back post at 46:28.
Spencer added to the lead in the 67th minute on a feed from Danelle Underwood (Grand Rapids, Mich./Grand Rapids). Underwood took a set piece from Judy Coffman (San Jose, Calif./Santa Theresa), raced down the wing, and sent a lofted cross to Spencer's head far post. The Spencer header put U-M up 2-0.
Madison Gates (Baldwinsville, N.Y./C.W. Baker) relieved Tuura in the 76th minute and Michigan cruised to the win.
The Wolverines next take to the field at Oklahoma State on Sunday (Sept. 3, 11:30 a.m CDT) at the Cowgirl Corral in Stillwater, Okla.
