ATHENS, Ohio – The Ohio soccer team (2-0-0) followed up their season-opening win with a 1-0 victory against Cleveland State (1-2-0) Thursday at Chessa Field.

The shots came flying early in the first half, as redshirt senior Haley Miller (Cincinnati, Ohio) and sophomore Scout Murray (Chicago, Ill.) fired on goal within the first 20 minutes. Senior Julianna Farina (Wenonah, N.J.) received a yellow card late into the first half, but the Bobcats stayed on the offensive.

In the 38th minute, from Miller's corner kick, junior Quintin Tostevin's (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) header grazed over the top of the bar. The first half concluded with a 0-0 score, with Ohio taking nine shots to Cleveland State's three.

Early in the second half, the Vikings had a shot ricochet off the left post, but the rebound effort was deemed offside. The Bobcats kept on the offensive, with shots from Miller, senior Carsyn Prigge (Lexington, Ky.), and freshman Anna Burchett (Prestonsburg, Ky.).

In the 79th minute, Senior Shae Robertson (Lexington, Ky.) attempted a long-range shot that was deflected into the box. The rebound came into the midfield and senior Izzi Boyd (Gibsonia, Pa.) rocketed a shot into the top-left corner of the goal to put the Bobcats up a goal late into the second half. It was Boyd's second goal in two games played this season, which leads the team for the season.

Goalkeeper Celeste Sloma (Columbus, Ohio) had two late saves with six minutes remaining to keep the Bobcats ahead. The Vikings elevated the pressure within the last five minutes, but Sloma and the defense were able to hold firm and keep a clean sheet. "It is a great feeling when the center backs have my back and they know I have their backs," said Sloma.

Ohio outshot the Vikings 18-9 in total, with both teams notching four shots on goal. The Bobcats were able to increase their all-time win streak to three and increase the series record to 6-3-2 against the Vikings.

The Bobcats' defense is yet to concede a goal this season.
