The Polar Bears won their seventh match after they defeated the Purple Raiders of Mount Union last Saturday in Alliance. This marks the second OAC win for ONU in as many matches as their record now stands at 7-1-2 overall and 2-0 in the conference. Again, the Bears got off to a hot start in the 6th minute when Sami Atkinson got on the end of a ball played by Alyssa Merrick. This would be the first of two goals scored by Atkinson and assisted by Merrick on the day. The duo would link up again for the second goal of the afternoon just 10 minutes after the first. Not to be outdone, Kristina Klusek would get herself on the score sheet off of an unassisted goal in the 23rd minute. Klusek and Atkinson are now tied at 7 goals a piece for the season. Also joining the scoreline was Sandra Thorarensen with just over 5 minutes to go in the half to get her third goal of the season. ONU would continue to control the tempo of the game in the second half. However, the Purple Raiders would give their fans something to cheer about after they converted a free kick in the 56th minute. The Polar Bears would out shoot Mount Union with 18 shots while the ONU defense would only allow 2 shots for the entire match. Up next, the Polar Bears host Manchester on Tuesday in their last non conference match of the season.
