COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Ohio State Buckeyes got their first road trip of the season started on the right foot, defeating the Syracuse Orangewomen 2-1 at Syracuse, N.Y. The win improves OSU’s record to 2-0-0 while Syracuse drops to 0-2-0.
The hero of the match for Ohio State was Lindsay Eckles (Fr., Hilliard, Ohio). She gave the Buckeyes a 1-0 lead at the 50-minute mark with an unassisted goal. A mere four minutes later, she added another, this time on a pass from Melanie Vierling (So., Cincinnati, Ohio). Eckles now has a team-high three goals this season.
Syracuse cut the OSU lead in half with a goal at the 59-minute mark, but that was all OSU goalkeeper Amber Barnes (Jr., Fairfield, Ohio) would allow. Barnes made five saves in picking up her 22nd career victory.
