No. 24 Women's Soccer Remains Undefeated with Draw Against Ohio
08.21.22 | Women's Soccer
CINCINNATIÂ -Â No. 24 Xavier women's soccer remained undefeated to open the season, playing Ohio to a scoreless draw at Corcoran Field on Sunday evening to move to 1-0-1 on the season.
The Musketeer offense held the advantage in the first half, taking four shots to just two for the Bobcats, including a pair on frame, and creating five corner kick opportunities before the break. Molly McLaughlin, Emma Marcus and Sonia Vargas each had a pair of shot in the first 45 minutes but were unable to find the back of the net sending the game into halftime scoreless.
In the second half, Xavier continued to create pressure on the Ohio defense, taking six shots, with three coming from Molly McLaughlin, including a look in the final minute for the go-ahead goal that narrowly went over the cross bar. Xavier defense limited the Bobcats to just two second half shots, with just one on-goal to keep the game at a 0-0 draw.
Xavier heads to Louisville next week for the first of four straight road matches, with the Musketeers set to play the Cardinal on Thursday, August 25 at 7:30 p.m.
