Going into the conference tournament as the No. 2 seed, the Panthers have recorded eight shutouts in their nine games played.
 
Keeping their opponents off the scoreboard has been a telling theme for ODU under first-year head coach Reilee DuPratt as they enter the spring playoffs as a viable championship contender.
 
The body of work to close out the regular season was very notable while defeating Malone and Walsh, by respective 1-0 scores. Both Malone and Walsh qualified for the conference tournament as Behnke and her teammates turned away any scoring opportunities.
 
Behnke helped ODU limit Walsh to just six shots as she fired one of her own. Versus Malone, it was the same shot total managed by the Pioneers as the junior defender started both matchups.
