TOLEDO, Ohio – The Toledo women's soccer team hosted its first Mid-American Conference match of the season and came up on the losing side of a 2-0 final to Northern Illinois on Senior Day at Paul Hotmer Field Sunday afternoon.

"It was a tough loss today," head coach TJ Buchholz said. "We played well for good stretches of the game, but just couldn't find the back of the net. I give credit to NIU's defense for having a great performance today. The good thing is we had 19 shots. Now we have to find a way to put goals away."

Senior Brooke Stonehouse looked like she was going to break a 0-0 stalemate, but NIU goalkeeper Deighton Wamer threw herself onto the ball to prevent the first goal of the game. NIU took a one-goal lead into halftime and added the insurance goal at the 51st-minute that the Rockets could not recover from.
