Buckeyes Play Well, But Fall Late at No. 4 Penn State
10/8/2023 3:18:00 PM | Women's Soccer
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ohio State controlled the game for the majority of the day but No. 4 Penn State took advantage of a pair of rare opportunities and would come away with a 2-1 victory.
T
he Buckeyes outshot Penn State 17-10 and led 8-2 on corners. They dominated play in the opening half going with the wind and then continued to attack in the second.
Ohio State falls for just the first time in the last four matches and is now 7-4-2 overall and 3-2-1 in Big Ten play.
How it Happened
The Buckeyes used the wind in the opening half and dominated possession. After a number of quality chances, they were finally rewarded in the 36th minute as senior captain Peyton McNamara played a beautiful left-footed volley off a deflection to record her first goal of the season.
On a rare attack, Penn State evened the match late in the opening half and the teams headed to the locker room tied at 1-1.
In the second half, it was Penn State's turn with the wind, but the Buckeyes continued on the attack. They again created a number of quality opportunities but just didn't find the net. Penn State pushed forward late and earned a corner kick with three minutes to play. Off that corner, the Lady Lions headed-home a goal with 2:15 to play and stole a 2-1 victory.
Up Next
The Buckeyes will remain on the road for a pair of matches next week. They are at Minnesota on Thursday evening and then at Wisconsin next Sunday afternoon.
