Defensive Effort Not Enough as Rockets Fall in Overtime

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – The Toledo women's soccer team (0-1-0) had its chances to secure a road win at IUPUI (1-0-0), but one shot in overtime proved to be the difference as the Jags pulled off the 1-0 win Thursday night at Michael A. Carroll Track and Soccer Stadium.

Facing a building attack early in the extra time, the Rockets lost sight of IUPUI's Maya Lacognato, allowing the Jag forward a free look at the goal. Lacognato converted to end the game. Prior to the Jags' strike, the Rockets battled evenly with IUPUI for the entire game, with Stephanie Currie and Ariana Garcia each recording three shots.

QUOTE OF THE MATCH

"It was a challenging opening game," said head coach TJ Buchholz. "To go to overtime and battle with IUPUI was a positive, I am just disappointed that we couldn't do better in the overtime. Overall, they are a very strong team in the Horizon League and I thought both teams played really well. When you go into overtime, somebody has to find a way to win. Our defense did really well tonight. They had to withstand a really good attack from IUPUI, and the backline really did well with the pressure. Adrianna made her first start and was able to withstand a lot with the backline."

STAT OF THE MATCH

The Rockets' defense held the Jags to five shots during the first half, none on goal, keeping redshirt freshman Adrianna Brewer from having to make a single save in the first 45 minutes.
