TOLEDO, Ohio – The Toledo women's soccer team (1-2-2) suffered its first setback at home to an undefeated Oakland (3-0-2) Thursday afternoon, 4-1. The Rockets surrendered a pair of first-half goals and were unable to overcome the early deficit.

"It was a tough match for our players today," head coach TJ Buchholz said. "We had good opportunities to capitalize on scoring chances, but we didn't put those opportunities away today. A lot of credit goes to Oakland in their performance."

Sophomore Chloe Tadolini set up redshirt junior Madison Medalle who pushed through two Oakland defenders to score her first goal of the season and make it 3-1 with 12 minutes left in the game. The Golden Grizzlies added one more goal two minutes later to bring about the 4-1 final score.
