Knights Earn 2-1 Win Over Racers

Lima, Ohio – The No. 4 Marian women's soccer team continued their unbeaten start Wednesday afternoon, as the Knights took down the University of Northwestern Ohio 2-1 behind a pair of goals from Erin Oleksak and Allie Schlom. With the win, Marian moves to 7-0-1 on the season going into conference play next week. 

Marian dominated the possession for the match, out shooting their opponents 16-8 with 10 shots on goal. The Knights got started early, firing off three quick shots in the first eight minutes of action behind the feet of Maya Decker and Oleksak.

The Knights continued their offensive pressure, causing the Racer's defense to fall as Schlom placed a cross from the right side that would be punched into the net by Oleksak for the game's first goal. Marian's offensive pressure continued to produce opportunities with five shots being attempted by two different Knights, but came up empty in trying to double their score.

Marian started the second half right where they left off, compiling a number of offensive opportunities by notching four quick shot attempts by three separate Knights. As the Knights kept the pressure on the Racer's defense, Schlom was able to double the Knights score as she broke away from the defenders to put one in the back of the net.

With the Knights up 2-0, the offensive attack did not let up, picking up three corner kicks and a header attempt. After only having three shot attempts in the first half, the Racers were able to punch five attempts in the half, but Noelle Rolfsen and the Knights defense would deny their attempts until at the 87:54 mark when UNOH was able to capitalize on a penalty kick.

In the 2-1 victory, Oleksak led the team with eight shots and the first goal of the match, while Schlom added a goal and one assist. Decker and Marian Corro Celma also picked up shot attempts, notching three and two shots. Rolfsen got the win in net for the Knights, making three saves in the full 90 minutes of action.

The Knights will return to action September 24 to start Crossroads League play as they host Grace at 7 PM.
