Soccer Coming off a Sweet 16 Appearance

A goal from graduate midfielder Kai Hayes erased a 1-0 second-half deficit, but the Bears could not turn the momentum from that equalizer into a winning goal. The Buckeyes dominated the majority of the game, peppering Azul Alvarez’s goal with 34 shots and 15 corners, forcing 10 saves.

Senior midfielder Tyler Isgrig scored the lone goal of the contest from the penalty spot in the final minute of the first half after senior defender Hannah Augustyn bravely drew the call as she attacked a cross.
