Final Stats

AKRON, OH - A goal in the 50th minute proved to be the deciding factor as Toledo knocked off Akron, 2-1, in a Mid-American Conference women's soccer match on Friday night at Lee Jackson Field. With the victory, the Rockets improve to 4-6-3 overall, 3-1-1 in MAC action.

UT freshman Molly Cornwell scored the eventual game winner at 49:38, dribbling the ball in from the left side and sending it into the bottom right corner of the net. Cornwell leads the Midnight Blue and Gold with nine points (three goals, three assists) on the season.

Akron (8-4-0, 1-4-0 MAC) pulled within a score at 64:36 when Danielle Walsh sent a high-arching kick from 20-yards out off the crossbar and into the net.

Toledo, who is perfect in six all-time match-ups against the Zips, scored the first goal of the night in the 43rd minute, when senior co-captain Kirsty Wilson headed in a corner kick from junior Suzi Siwinski at 42:38. It was Wilson's third tally in 2006 and all three have come via corners with Siwinski collecting the helpers. The Solon, OH native tops the team and the MAC with five assists.

The Rockets scored two goals on three shots on goal (four shots total), while all three of the Zips' shots were credited as being on frame.

UT senior goalkeeper Jen Whipple went the distance and made two saves, one in the waning minutes of the contest, to earn the win, while UA netminder Krystin Wilson had one save in 90 minutes and picked up the loss.

The Rockets return to action on Sunday when it faces Ohio at 1:00 p.m.
