TicketsToledo, OHIO – The University of Cincinnati women's soccer program defeated Toledo in its first road match of the year, 3-2, on Sunday inside Paul Hotmer Field.
The Bearcats move to 2-0-0 on the season for the first time since 2017.
Several new faces were featured in today's lineup including freshmen Anna Barber, Rylee Felton and Carly Oubs. All three showed strong potential in the Bearcats' season opener versus Murray State.
The first 18 minutes of play were pretty quiet until junior Megan Smith nailed it right past the goalie in a free-kick opportunity.
Toledo's Morgan Spitler found an opening in the 47th minute but the shot was ultimately blocked by fifth-year goalkeeper Anna Rexford.
The Rockets tied the match up in the 65th minute with a first-time collegiate goal from freshman Gabby Anulare.
The Bearcats regained the lead when fifth-year Ellie Flower sped past the defender and found the back of the net in the 71st minute.
Fifth-year Vyviene Spaulding nailed one right off a defender's head into the goal to extend Cincinnati's lead in the 78th minute.
One minute later, Anulare responded with another goal to close in on the Bearcats but was not enough to overcome the UC offense.
Cincinnati will take a short break before heading back on the road to face Central Michigan on Sunday, August 25, at 1 p.m.
