Buckeyes Fall to Nebraska 2-1
9/21/2023 8:39:00 PM | General, Women's Soccer
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Senior Emma Sears pulled Ohio State even in the 76th minute with her second goal of the season but Nebraska answered back and would go on to a 2-1 victory on Thursday evening at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium.
The goal was the 24th of Sears' career and lifts her into a tie for 12th in program history. Freshman Amanda Schlueter collected her third assist of the season.
The loss was just the first for the Buckeyes in the last six matches as they are now 4-3-2 on the year and 0-1-1 in Big Ten play.
How it Happened
Nebraska struck first with a goal in the 25th minute as Sarah Weber finished a cross right in front of the net. The score stayed 1-0 Cornhuskers through the first 45 minutes.
In the second half, the Buckeyes came out more aggressive and were pushing for the equalizer. It finally came with less than 15 minutes to play as Brooke Otto played a ball up the left sideline that Schlueter corralled and took to the endline. She then crossed to an open Sears in the box and the Dublin, Ohio native finished with her right foot to pull the Buckeyes even at 1-1.
The goal put a charge into the crowd, but Nebraska would respond with a goal less than two minutes later as Weber picked up her second of the night. The Huskers then withstood a couple of strong late chances from the Buckeyes and would hold on for a 2-1.
Up Next
The Buckeyes hit the road this weekend and will be in College Park, Md., on Sunday to take on the Terrapins. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m.
