Short Story: Ohio fell to No. 17 Indiana, 1-0, on Saturday (Sept. 20). The Hoosiers scored the game's only goal at the 45th minute.

 

HOW IT HAPPENED

• Senior goalkeeper Brittany Walker  (Elizabethtown, Pa.) -- the reigning Mid-American Conference Defensive Player of the Week -- held the Hoosiers scoreless throughout the first 35 minutes of play. She made two saves in 70 minutes in the cage, posting her fifth complete match of the 2014 season.

 

• Indiana junior Nicole Volgraf broke the deadlock in the 45th minute, cashing in on a scramble in front of the cage following a corner opportunity for the Hoosiers. 

 

• Indiana outshot Ohio, 11-5. The Bobcats won the corner battle in the first half, 4-1, but Indiana countered with eight corner chances in the final 35 minutes against just one for Ohio.

• Redshirt senior Lauryl Desch (Charlottesville, Va.) led the Bobcat offense with three shots on goal. 

 

• Ohio's defense came up with three defensive saves -- including two by junior Adele Sammons (Upminster, England) and another by Desch.

QUOTABLE

"It was a tale of two halves. In the first half, we did a great job of pressuring them. In the second half, they came out and changed a little bit of their formation, and we didn't do a great job of adjusting in the second half." - 10th-year head coach Neil Macmillan 

UP NEXT

Ohio visits the Old Dominion State next weekend for a pair of matches, taking on Liberty University on Friday (Sept. 26) at 3:30 p.m. ET, then battling Richmond on Sunday (Sept. 28) at noon ET.
