The Polar Bears wrapped up their non conference schedule with a 4-1 win against the Spartans of Manchester College Tuesday evening in North Manchester, Indiana. With the win, ONU improves to 7-4 on the season.
The Polar Bears would create a handful of dangerous scoring opportunities, however strong goalkeeping from Spartan keeper Abby Williams would keep the game scoreless for much of the first half. Junior Kim McGowan would break the tie by scoring an unassisted goal in the 33rd minute and take the 1-0 lead into halftime. Again, ONU would start the half by keeping the pressure on the Spartan defense. Senior Chelsea Albert would add to the score sheet by launching a free kick that would sneak over William's hands and under the cross bar in the 57th minute to double the Northern lead. Manchester's Olivia Gomez would tally one for the Spartans almost ten minutes later by converting a well placed free kick from just outside the ONU 18yd box. The Polar Bears weren't finished scoring either, as freshman Colleen Kerger would earn her first collegiate goal off of an assist from classmate Danielle Ho. To cap off the game, junior Alyssa Merrick would convert a free kick of her own by finding the far post upper 90 in the 85th minute. In a strong showing, the ONU defense would allow only three shots for keeper Erin Waehner.
Up next, the Polar Bears travel to take on the Capital Crusaders in an OAC showdown this Saturday in Bexley, Ohio. Go Bears!
