COLUMBUS, Ohio – No. 6 Ohio State opened Big Ten play with a 1-0 shutout win over Penn State on Thursday evening at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium.
The Buckeyes improved to 5-0-1 (1-0-0 Big Ten) on the season while recording their fourth shutout in six matches.
Sophomore Jadin Bonham scored the game’s lone goal in the 20th minute, marking her second goal of the season. Senior Amanda Schlueter provided the assist on the game-winner, bringing her team-leading points total to 10 on the year.
Ohio State established control early in the opening half, breaking the scoreless tie at 19:10 when Schlueter set up Bonham for the decisive strike. Goalkeeper Peighton Northrup and the Buckeye defense held firm the rest of the way, keeping Penn State off the board despite a strong second-half push by the Nittany Lions.
Defensively, Ohio State limited Penn State to just two shots on goal out of 16 total attempts. Northrup recorded two saves in 90 minutes of action to earn her fourth full shutout of the season.
Both teams finished with 18 total shot attempts on the night.
