Kent, Ohio- The Kent State Soccer team grinded out a tough 1-0 victory over Ohio in conference play Thursday night at home to earn another pivotal three points in the Mid-American Conference standings.
The contest was a physical one the whole way through as a red card was given to the Bobcats in the 10th-minute as Ohio had to play with a player down down for the rest of the game. Both teams held scoreless through the rest of the half to keep it deadlocked heading into the break.
Kent State started the second half aggressive and got on the board in the 54th-minute on a goal in front of the net from junior forward Josie Morgan who was assisted by sophomore Allison Collins and junior Samantha Miller. The goal was the second of the season for Morgan; and it was enough to give the Blue and Gold the lead. They would never look back as strong defense the rest of the way secured them the one-goal victory.
The Flashes once again led the game in shooting with a tight margin of 8-6; while edging out the Bobcats 4-2 in shots-on-goal. The Flashes also led the corner kick category by a count of 6-3. Leah Shaffer picked up another pair of saves in the win.
