ONU Ties Wilmington

The ONU Polar Bears traveled to conference rival Wilmington College on Wednesday night which proved to be another classic match up between the two teams. ONU got the scoring off midway through the first half as Senior Chelsea Albert found Tara Tokar in the box from a free kick about 40 yards from the WC goal. Tokar rose above her defenders and placed a header in the top far corner, beating the WC goal keeper. The Bears would have several great chances later in the half, but the WC defense would hold strong, keeping the score at 1-0 entering halftime. Just over 10 minutes into the second half, WC would equalize on a corner, making the score 1-1. ONU continued to create chance after chance, coming close several times to getting the game winner, but it wasn't meant to be their night, and the game ended in a 1-1 draw after 90 minutes of regulation play and two 10 minute overtime periods. ONU is back in action on Saturday, as they host John Carroll University at 3:30pm in Ada, OH. JCU is currently in sole possession of 2nd place in the OAC with a record of 5-1 while ONU sits just behind them with a record of 4-1-1. With a win on Saturday, ONU could jump over JCU for second place, securing the all important first round bye in the upcoming OAC Tournament. Saturday also marks Parent's Day for our women's soccer team. We will have a brief ceremony honoring the parents who make it all possible for us just before the game. This weekend looks to be a great day for ONU Soccer. Thank you for all of you support and we'll see you back in your orange and black on Saturday as we take on the Blue Streaks from JCU!
