ROCHESTER HILLS, Mich. – The Toledo women's soccer team pulled out a 1-0 win at Oakland, with junior Alli MacBeth's 78th-minute goal standing as the winner at Oakland Soccer Stadium on Sunday.
 
Toledo (2-3-1) held an 8-4 advantage in shots and 5-1 advantage in corner kicks at halftime. The Rockets then withstood a second-half surge from the Golden Grizzlies (1-5-1) before MacBeth scored on an assist from senior Chloe Tadolini in the 78th minute. After the goal, Oakland took two potential tying shots before the final whistle, but one missed and the other was saved.
 
Five players each took two shots for the Rockets – graduate student Grace Turski, seniors Olivia Dault and Chloe Tadolini and juniors Kaema Amachree and Brooklyn Whitehead. Junior Agnes Stenlund stopped all four Oakland shots on goal on the day.
 
"We had a great first half and start to the game," said Head Coach Mark Batman. "We could have been up early but the chances just weren't falling. We grinded through the second half and finally found a goal. The girls were great at killing off the rest of the game. We'll take this week to rest and finish the non-conference schedule strong.
