Tuesday evening featured the Polar Bears second southern road trip in four days to take on the Lions of Mount St. Joseph. Eager to make an impact, the Polar bears wasted no time in finding the back of the net. It took less than two minutes for freshman Abbie Schauble to score the first goal for the polar bears off of a well placed cross from senior Natalie White. ONU continued to pressure the Lions back line creating several scoring opportunities. Converting one of those scoring opportunities was sophomore Tara Tokar in the 18th minute off of a free kick taken by junior Alyssa Merrick. The Polar Bears would take their 2-0 lead into halftime. The offensive attack from ONU would continue onto the second half. Adding to the score sheet in the 57th minute was freshman Sami Atkinson who tallyed her fifth goal of the season off of Merrick's fifth assist of the season. Up 3-0 in the second half, the Polar Bears did not let up on the attack. With less than ten minutes to go in the game, junior Kim McGowan got on the end of a ball from sophomore Alicia Palivoda to cap the game at 4-0. Making two saves on the evening, sophomore Erin Waehner would earn the shotout in her first start in goal. Solid overall play from the entire ONU squad on the evening would improve the season record to 4-3-0. A big thank you to the polar bear fans, friends, and family who made it to the game! Up next, the Polar Bears are on the road again to take on their first conference opponent this Saturday at Muskingum University.
