ONU Finishes Regular Season With A Win


The Ohio Northern women's soccer team finished their last regular season game this past Friday in Marietta, OH. ONU came out ready to play in the first 15 minutes, getting two goals early to secure the victory against Marietta College. Both goals came from Junior Captain Chelsea Albert. The first came from a free kick taken by Senor Captain Stacy Barnhart just inside ONU's defensive half. Barnhart played a fantastic driven ball into the box where Albert headed the ball past the MC goal keeper. Albert's second goal came just minutes later off another great corner kick from Senior Captain Kaitlin Sanders. She found Albert in the box again unmarked for another header just inside the 6-yard box.
With the win, ONU improves to 14-3-2 overall and 8-1-0 in the OAC. ONU finished in 2nd place in conference play, only 1 point behind Otterbein who took first. ONU secured the 2nd seed in the OAC Tournament while John Carroll finished 3rd, Wilmington 4th, Capital 5th, and Heidelberg 6th. ONU will play the winner of JCU/Heidelberg in the OAC Tournament Semi Final match on Wednesday at 2p in Ada.
Thanks to all who made the long trip to Marietta on Friday. We hope to see you all Wednesday!
