Ohio Notes
After defeating Ball State this past Sunday, Ohio moved into first place in the MAC, tied with Western Michigan, which Ohio holds the tiebreaker against. Ohio also ranks first in the MAC in goals, goals per game, and margin of victory.
With just four games left in the season, every game is important for Ohio. If the team wins the rest of its games, it will host the conference semifinals and championship game, giving itself a home-field advantage.
Opponent Notes
Toledo currently sits eighth in the MAC standings, with an outside shot at the conference tournament. Like Ohio, it has four games left to make it, meaning these next four games are crucial.
The team is coming into Athens after beating Miami 2-0, looking to start a hot streak to end the season. They are averaging 1.0 goals per game and are only outscoring their opponents by one game. Toledo is also getting outshot by its opponents in both shots and shots on goal. With a team as well-balanced as Ohio, Toledo will have to play its best against Ohio.
Player to Watch
After her two-goal performance against Ball State, sophomore forward and midfielder Jaimason Brooker now leads Ohio in goals scored this season. She moved into fourth place in the MAC for goals, also ranking second in assists and third in shots on goal. She looks to continue to help Ohio’s offense in the last four games of the season.
