The women's Golden Hawk soccer team is not fourth in the country because of their offence. The team, currently first in the division, has already played to three 0-0 draws and has only scored three goals in the last five games. However, the defence has played strongly enough to only allow one goal all season and keep the Hawks undefeated at 4-0-4. The stingy play defensively continued on Sunday against Windsor in another donut draw (0-0).
