TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Toledo captured its first victory of the season with a 3-0 shutout against Indiana State at Memorial Stadium Sunday afternoon.
All three of Toledo's goals came in the second half. Graduate student Morgan Otteson scored two second-half goals, the second coming at the 83-minute mark that gave the Rockets a 3-0 cushion. Graduate student Ashton Cassel also scored at the 81-minute mark.
The Rockets, who tied with Purdue Fort Wayne 1-1 on Thursday, are now 1-1-2 on the season.
"Our team played really strong today for 90 minutes in very hot conditions," Head Coach TJ Buchholz said. "Our defense really battled and limited a good Indiana State team to only four shots all game. I am proud of the poise our offense showed in the final third. They weren't able to break through in the first half with a goal, but they continued to press and attack. To get three goals in the second half was outstanding. We have a lot of positives to build on today to move forward."
Goals and Key Moments
The Rockets will play one game at home this week as they welcome Oakland on Thursday at Noon in Paul Hotmer Field.
