ATHENS, Ohio – The Kent State soccer team (2-5-0) dropped its season finale on Thursday 1-0 at Ohio (3-6-0) despite being the more aggressive team throughout.
The Golden Flashes pushed the play on Thursday, and generated 13 shots to the Bobcats' 10. Kent State was also ruled offside seven times, with several being very tight decisions.
Ohio withstood the pressure, scoring early with Abby Townsend hitting a rocket of a shot that looked that it would rise over the bar if it wasn't for a deflection off a defender that changed the direction of the ball and made it impossible to save.
The Flashes rallied, with two strong chances in the second half of play. The first came in the 64th minute as Lauryn Arruda made solid contact on a header off a Vital Kats' cross. The header would not stay down though and ricocheted off the cross bar. The second came in the final 10 minutes of play when Keyosha Donkor played a beautiful diagonal ball into the box from the right wing. The pass found Kats on the corner of the six yard, but with a difficult angle Kats fired into the side netting.
Sarah Melén made three saves in the loss, with two big saves to keep the score line at 1-0 late in the game.
