Las Vegas, NM - The Westminster Griffins (11-3-1, 8-2-1) women's soccer team ended its 2018 road season with a victory as it defeated New Mexico Highlands, 2-0, on Sunday afternoon to win its fourth game in its last five contests.
The Griffins defense once again held an opponent scoreless for the fifth time this season, and with nine shots on goal on the offensive end, the Griffins found a way to score two key goals in route to victory.
