Women's soccer claws back but falls just short to Ohio in a MAC opening 2-1 loss

DeKALB — Two goals were enough for the Ohio University Bobcats to defeat the women’s soccer team 2-1 Friday in the Huskies’ Mid-American Conference opener.

The match was originally scheduled for 7 p.m. at the Soccer and Track and Field Complex in DeKalb, but inclimate weather pushed the match indoors to the Mercyhealth Sportscore Two in Loves Park with a 5 p.m. kick off.

First-year forward Julia Neary scored the lone goal for NIU. Neary’s goal is her second of the season. Senior defender Jennie Nailor provided the assist, her first of the season and the second of her Huskie career.
