The Polar Bears earned their 4th conference win this past Saturday at Baldwin Wallace College. With the win, ONU improves to 4-1 in the OAC and 9-5 on the season. In what was a physical and defensive minded match, Northern looked to capitalize on their offensive attacks. However, the Yellow Jackets would hold strong for much of the first half. In the 29th minute, Junior Alyssa Merrick would step up to take a corner kick earned by the ONU offense. Merrick's service would prove to strong for the BW keeper as it would find the far post side netting to put the Polar Bears on the scoreboard.
In the second half, ONU would continue to push for the second goal, but their attempts would be halted by the BW defense. The Northern defense would also have another strong showing as they would earn their 6th shutout of the season. The Polar Bears resume action this Wednesday as they travel to take on the Quakers of Wilmington College.
