After numerous chances on goal, Ohio (2-4-0) found the back of the net to take the 1-0 lead in the 54th minute. Junior Grace Campbell (Wadsworth, Ohio) knocked in a long free kick that fell at the feet of sophomore Alexis Milesky (Plain City, Ohio), and Milesky punched it in to the right side of the net.

Sophomore Carly Manso (Vernon Hills, Ill.) found the back of the net to give Ohio the 2-0 lead in the 77th minute. Junior Leah Sandercock (Strongsville, Ohio) and Milesky each assisted on the goal as the ball bounced around in front of the net before Manso cleaned it up.

The Bobcats had two chances taken away from offside calls in the second half and almost found a third goal when Milesky dropped a ball at the feet of sophomore Sasha Haverchak (Akron, Ohio) who ripped a ball just over the bar.

The Bobcats finished the first half with five shots on goal, creating some good opportunities from inside the box. The best chance came in the 14th minute as Manso played the ball in from the right side to the feet of senior Liz Finley (Mason, Ohio). Finley's diving right-footed attempt was saved by EKU's Anna Hall made a nice save.

In the 37th minute, sophomore Erin Wrubel (Troy, Mich.) found some space at the top of the box, but put the shot high over the bar and out of play. The last shot on the goal of the first half came from Manso, who turned and fired into the hands of Hall in the 40th minute.

Ohio senior Nicole Amari (Vernon Hills, Ill.) made a nice diving save in goal to stop EKU's only shot on goal in the first half, which came from sophomore Cassie Smith on the right side. Amari finished with two saves in the shutout victory.
