Cleveland, Ohio – The Oberlin College soccer team pushed their unbeaten streak to eight games Tuesday night with a 2-0 victory on the road at Case Western Reserve University. The Yeomen are now 9-1-2.
The win marks the best start to a season for a Yeomen soccer team since 1988, the winningest season in school history, when the team went 13-3-1.

John Ingham scored his 10th goal of the season, a header on a cross from classmate
