BOX SCORE
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio - Senior Jennifer Reyes scored midway through the second half, lifting the Bowling Green State University women's soccer team to a 1-0 victory over Ohio University Friday night (Nov. 2). The match, a Mid-American Conference Tournament semifinal-round contest, was held at Cochrane Stadium on the BGSU campus.
With the victory, the top-seeded Falcons (14-4-2) advance to the MAC Tournament's championship match on Sunday afternoon (Nov. 4). BGSU will meet number-two seed Ball State University. The Cardinals posted a 1-0, double-overtime victory over third-seeded Western Michigan University in Friday's first semifinal match.
The Bobcats (9-8-3), the tourney's number-four seed, see the season come to an end with the narrow loss.
The Falcons held an 11-8 advantage in total shot attempts, and BGSU had eight shots on goal to the Bobcats' two, but the match was scoreless until the 69th minute.
The Falcons' goal came after junior Maureen Kennedy intercepted the ball near midfield after an Ohio goal kick. Kennedy played a one-timer ahead to senior Erica Hubert, who took the ball into the penalty area on the left side of the field, then played it across to Reyes.
Reyes settled the ball near the top of the 18, and quickly hit a shot that beat Ohio goalkeeper Sydney Malham and found the far corner of the net, bouncing just inside of the far post.
