ROCHESTER, Mich. – The Oakland women's soccer team netted three first half goals to guide the Golden Grizzlies to two-straight wins and a 3-0 win over UIC Thursday night.

Oakland (3-7-1, 2-0-1 HL) entered halftime with the 3-0 lead over the Flames (0-8-1, 0-3-0 HL).
 
All the goal scoring would take place in the first half, despite some great opportunities in the second half.
