Despite the barrage, freshman Savannah Haberman was up to the task and ended the match with a new program and OVC single-game record 23 saves, including 16 in the second half. She ends her first year in the blue and gold with a 111 saves, becoming the first Racer goalkeeper in program history to record more than 100 saves in a single season.
