TOLEDO, Ohio – The Toledo women's soccer team ended the weekend with a 0-0 tie against Miami on Sunday afternoon at Paul Hotmer Field.
The Rockets and Redhawks played a physically intense game, but neither team was able to put one in the back of the net through 90 minutes of play. Both teams had chances to score but the defensive line was there to back up the goalkeepers and keep the score deadlocked at 0-0. Redshirt freshman goalkeeper Karson Hill recorded her first career shutout.
"I am proud of our team's effort today defensively. They did a great job," head coach TJ Buchholz said. "I think our back line and Karson Hill really stepped up. (Senior defender) Rylee Michaels had a tremendous game. She was really strong defensively and made two key tackles inside the box to save us from giving up a goal. You love that mentality piece of our defense. We just have to put it together on the offensive side and keep working through those pieces. If we can keep doing that, we'll be able to move forward and get ready for Thursday. It's good to get the shutout but we have to find a way this week to take that shutout and keep teams from scoring, and then go on the attack and find the back of the net."
Goals and Key Moments
Toledo will stay at Paul Hotmer Field for its next match vs. Ohio at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 20.
