Ole Miss soccer met with Bowling Green State in the first round of the NCAA Women’s Soccer Championship and gave fans a game that will be hard to forget. The Rebels earned the victory in the seventh round of penalty kicks (PK) after a scoreless regulation and overtime. Sophomore forward Mo O’Connor scored the go-ahead PK, and junior goalkeeper Ashley Orkus secured the win.
“It was a great team win. Battling through tough external conditions against a tough team is never easy, but if any team is going to push through it, it’s us,” Orkus said.
The first half of the matchup between the Rebels and Falcons featured a strong Rebel offense, with two solid shots on goal in the first 20 minutes of play.
