Megan Zalla, Sam Westerling and Jennie Ulrey combined for the shutout for NKU, which improved to 9-0 overall, 3-0 in the Great Lakes Valley Conference. Quincy dropped to 5-3 overall, 2-1 in the GLVC.
Sandfoss, who earned GLVC co-Player of the Week honors this past Tuesday, started the NKU scoring Friday with a goal off an assist from Aisling Callaghan at the 21:38 mark.
