ADA - Six different players scored goals for the Ohio Northern women’s soccer team as they defeated Mount St. Joseph by a score of 6-1 on Tuesday evening at the ONU Soccer Field.
With the win the Polar Bears improve to 5-1-2 on the season while the Lions fall to 4-3-1.
Senior Stacey Barnhart scored the lone goal of the first half as she put a penalty kick in past Mt. St. Joseph keeper Shelbi Benzinger.
The goal was Barnhart’s second on the season.
Junior Natalie White came out after half-time and wasted no time, scoring at the 45:43 mark off a cross from senior Angie Pisut, which White got wide open and put it in.
Kaitlin Sanders scored her third goal of the season about ten minutes later as she took a shot from ten yards out from the right side.
Senior Jaime Eiben also scored her third goal of the season when she took a shot from twenty yards out from the top of the box.
Mt. St. Joseph scored their lone goal fourteen seconds after Eiben’s when Brittany Bowman hit a shot which ricocheted off the crossbar and off of freshman keeper Erin Waehner.
Waehner, in her first career start, made three saves.
The Polar Bears scored twice in the last ten minutes. First when Madeline White took a Chelsea Albert cross and put in a shot right from the middle of the box.
Freshman Alicia Palivoda scored in the last minute when she took a through ball from Alyssa Merrick and beat Benzinger for the game’s final goal.
“We started off slow in the first half, but we picked it up in the second half," said head coach Mark Batman. "Mt. St. Joe’s has played a lot of teams in our conference, so this is setting the stage for the next six weeks of the season.”
Northern returns to action Saturday September 26, as they travel to Cleveland to take on Case Western Reserve. Game time is 2 pm.
