Sara Medor had a shot right before halftime saved, while Megan Carey had UCSC's two best chances in the second half to break the shutout.
In the 61st minute she sent a 20-yard rocket that clanged off the cross bar and three minutes later took in a cross but couldn't turn her body on it right,floating the ball over the post.
Kayla McCord had a shot a minute later that was saved.

The Slugs next head to southern California for games Sunday and Monday against Claremont-Mudd-Scripps and Chapman.
