SALT LAKE CITY – Natalie Boragine's goal in the 57^th minute put MSU Denver in front, and goalkeeper Kylie Bach and the rest of the Roadrunners' defense kept it that way Friday night in a clutch 1-0 victory at Westminster in women's soccer.
 
"I'm proud of our team tonight," MSU Denver coach Kat Mertz said. "It was a complete team victory. What a shot and goal by Nat, and a big performance by Kylie and the back line." 

Boragine lifted a shot from just outside the 18-yard box over the goalkeeper for her second career goal.
 
Bach, meanwhile, matched her career high of 10 saves while posting her 13^th career shutout.

"We got back to playing Roadrunner soccer and were able to execute the game plan," Mertz said.
 
MSU Denver improved to 4-4-3 overall and 3-2 for nine points and fourth place in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference, while Westminster dropped to 4-4-1 and 2-2 for six points and sixth place.
 
MSU Denver now travels to Colorado Mesa (9-0, 4-0 and tied for first with 12 points) for a 3 p.m. game Sunday. The Mavericks are ranked No. 4 in Division II.

"There are still items we need to continue to develop, however there are lots of positives to build off," Mertz said.
