RAMSTEIN AIR BASE, Germany — Ramstein’s Lady Royals continued their march through Division I, blanking the three-time defending European champion Heidelberg Lady Lions 5-0 on Saturday.

The shutout was the fourth in four games for Ramstein, which has outscored its opponents 21-0 this season.

All-Europe sophomore Heather Harvey scored three times for the Lady Royals; newcomer Mari Shakir and Emily Kash added the other goals. Shakir also handed out an assist.

According to Ramstein coach Bill Belmear, April Brown and Katee Norris were the keys to a Ramstein defense that needed just five saves from All-Europe goalkeeper Andra Vanderneck.

It was the second straight shutout suffered by Heidelberg (1-2 overall and 0-2 in D-1 play) has failed to score. The Lady Lions were blanked 6-0 at International School of Brussels on March 27.

Heidelberg hosts Würzburg next Saturday; Ramstein plays ISB.
