The Ohio Northern Women's soccer team wasted no time in getting started yesterday with a goal from Kristina Klusek in the third minute of the match. Lauren Brown found Klusek behind the MSJ defense and she notched her sixth goal of the season. ONU's second goal came from Junior Captain Tara Tokar, making this her first goal of the 2011 season. Tokar took a ball off an MSJ midfielder, beat two players, and slid a calm shot into the far side netting from 18 yards out making the score 2-0. ONU would go into the break up by two goals, only allowing 2 shots from MSJ in the first 45 minutes of play. The second half was very similar to the first. ONU's third goal came from Klusek off assits from Freshman Sandra Thorarensen and Senior Alyssa Merrick. MSJ would find a glimmer of hope when they got a goal back in the 62nd minute, but ONU would quickly respond when Sandra Thorarensen got her second goal of the 2011 season. ONU held MSJ to just four total shots while creating 23 of their own.
"This was a great non conference win for us", said Head Coach Mark Batman. "The girls did a very good job adjusting to the field conditions from all the rain we have had in the past few days. We played very well on both sides of the ball. I felt we were efficient in the final third of the field, creating dangerous chances for a lot of the game and we defended very well as a team. We are now looking forward to Mt. Union on Saturday who will be a very tough OAC opponent."
The Polar Bears are now 6-1-2 overall, 1-0-0 in OAC play, and 6-0-1 in regional play. Their next match is this Saturday at 1p in Alliance, OH v Mt. Union.
