KALAMAZOO, MI - The Ohio women's soccer team opened its weekend with a 1-0 victory over Western Michigan Friday afternoon.

Senior Liz Finley (Mason, Ohio) scored the game-winner for the Bobcats in the 64th minute off of an assist from sophomore Alli Cislo (Crownsville, Md.). The goal was her first of the 2014 season.

“I give our team a ton of credit for finding a way to score,” Head Coach Aaron Rodgers said. “We defended very, very well. We battled, we fought, we finally found a way to win and I couldn’t be more proud of our effort.”

Ohio (5-6-0, 2-1-0 MAC) finished with just three total shots and Finley's goal was the team's only shot on target.

In the 19th minute, senior Annie Beard (Mason, Ohio) connected on a header off of a corner, but her attempt went wide. Ohio's only other shot in the game came in the 46th minute when sophomore Sasha Haverchak (Akron, Ohio) shot wide of the post.

Nicole Amari (Vernon Hills, Ill.) finished with two saves.

“Amari played great and made some really key saves,” Rodgers said. “We defended well in the box and in the second half we tightened it up and tightened the marking up.”

The Bobcats were outshot 9-3 in the game and Western Michigan finished with seven corner kick opportunities to Ohio's three.

The loss was the first conference loss for Western Michigan (8-3-0, 2-1-0 MAC) this season.

Ohio has not lost to the Broncos in six-straight meetings.

The Bobcats are back in action on Sunday when they travel to Northern Illinois. That game will get started at 1 p.m.
