Ohio finally got its season going in the right direction after its 3-0 win against Akron on Sunday after suffering two losses early in the season. The team was able to put all of its strengths together in a dominant performance and will look to do the same on the road versus Kent State and Buffalo this weekend.
The Bobcats will need to continue the momentum from last weekend and carry it into both games to keep their hopes to play in the Mid-American Conference Championship game alive. Ohio currently sits fifth in the MAC East and has a record of 1-2. This weekend will be huge for the Bobcats to see if they can bring all the positives together and define who they are as a team.
