Buckeyes end regular season at Northwestern Nov. 7

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ohio State (6-9-0, 3-6-0) completed the 2025 home season Friday with a 1-0 win over Penn State (5-8-3, 1-6-2) on Senior Night at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium.

The win was the 300^th home win in program history.

The Buckeyes scored in the 75' after Ashton Bilow's shot hit the right goalpost before the rebound was put away by Tanner Creech. It was the second score of the season for Creech and his fifth career goal. Bilow was credited with the assist, his second this year and eighth for his career.

Ohio State had several chances in the second half that just missed or were turned away by Penn State keeper Jonathan Evans. Ohio State freshman Aaron Hurge had the best chance but hit the top of the crossbar in the 69' that would have given the Buckeyes the lead.
Defensively, keeper Max Trejo and the Ohio State defense kept the Nittany Lions from scoring, allowing just 11 shots with two on frame for the game.
The opening half ended scoreless with neither team asserting itself offensively. Combined, the teams totaled six shots with three on net.
Ohio State celebrated its seniors during pregame ceremonies. Dyland Onwona-Agyeman, Nathan Demian, Thomas Gilej, Marko Borkovic, Ashton Bilow, Luciano Pechota, Donovan Williams, RJ Stoller, Tanner Creech and Max Trejo all were recognized.
