Kent, Ohio- The Kent State soccer team fell to Miami in a physical 1-0 contest on Thursday Night.
The Flashes' defense held the Miami offense in check for most of the first half, limiting the RedHawks to Just two shots in the first half. Offensively the Flashes generated multiple scoring chances but couldn't find the back of the net as Dominique Popa tallied 5 saves in the opening period.
Miami would break the scoreless tie in the 38th minute when an Emily Paul Cross found the head of Millie Cook at the back post who headed it into the net.
The Flashes continued to attempt to break down the RedHawks defense as the second half began. Kent State's best chance to find the equalizer came in the 77th minute when the Flashes got three back-to-back-to-back corners that culminated in a Thea Helen Oberhoff cross that found the head of Kelsey Salopek but was saved by a diving Popa.
In the box score the Flashes held the advantage in shots (9-7) and shots on goal (6-3), while the two sides tied with four corner opportunities a piece. Alisa Arthur led Kent State with three shots, Siena Stambolich and Arthur tied with two shots on goal. In net, Heidi Marshall tallied two saves.
