ONU 3 Heidelberg 0

The Polar Bears of Ohio Northern University claimed sole possession of first place in the OAC with their latest win over Heidelberg 3-0 yesterday afternoon in Ada, OH. Contributing to the scoring were Seniors Angie Pisut, Kaitlin Sanders, and Sophomore Alyssa Merrick. Chelsea Albert and Kaitlin Sanders notched an assist a piece for 2 of the 3 goals. The Polar Bears are now 12-2-2 overall and 6-0-0 in the OAC. Otterbein College is just behind ONU with a conference record of 5-0-1. The Cardinals will be traveling to Ada this Saturday for a 2p kickoff. ONU is #25 in the latest NSCAA Coaches Poll and Otterbein is ranked at #8. Both teams will be playing with something to prove, as the game is just as important for regional play as it is for the conference.
"Heidelberg is a tough team, physical, and play hard. They challenged us offensively, making things difficult for us", said Head Coach Mark Batman. "It was a great game to prepare us for a very tough and talented team on Saturday. The girls have been talking about this game (Otterbein) for months it seems like, and I've trying all I could do to be sure they were taking things one game at a time. I can tell they are anxious to redeem themselves from last season. It's going to be a great game between two very talented teams. Saturday's game is also Senior Day, so there will be some added emotion to an already very big rivalry. I can't wait to watch!"
Thank you to all who came to support us Wednesday. We look forward to seeing you all on Saturday for a great game!
