Kaema Amachree scores winner in 48th minute in Toledo's first MAC victory

TOLEDO, Ohio – Kaema Amachree's 48th-minute goal was the difference in the Toledo women's soccer team's 1-0 victory over Akron at Paul Hotmer Field on Sunday afternoon.

The Rockets (4-5-2, 1-2-1 MAC) finished off an undefeated week with its second consecutive shutout to send the Zips (5-4-2, 0-4-0) to their fourth-straight defeat to start conference play.

Amachree's goal was part of three shots and two shots on goal for the match. Senior Olivia Dault led Toledo with five shots on the afternoon, with three on goal. Junior Agnes Stenlund made four saves, including three in the second half for her fifth shutout of the season.

"We had a good turnaround from the first half to the second half," said Head Coach Mark Batman. "The second half was much more of who we are and we found our identity. That was a good response and we're happy to get four points this week."

HOW IT HAPPENED

37' | A shot by Akron's Casey Quinn was saved by Agnes Stenlund and the rebound attempt was blocked by Toledo's defense.
46' | The Rockets got a flurry of three shots – by Olivia Dault, Brooklyn Whitehead and Kaema Amachree in succession, but all three shots were saved by the goalkeeper.
48' | Off of a cross from Emily Mann, Dault's initial header was saved, but Amachree pounced on the rebound for the goal from right in front of the net.
76' | Akron put an attempt on goal to the lower-left corner, forcing a diving save by Stenlund.
