Soccer Battles Denison on the Road

Granville, Ohio - The Oberlin College women's soccer team dropped a 3-0 decision to North Coast opponent Denison on Saturday afternoon. Upon conclusion of the game, the Crimson and Gold shift to 3-6-3 overall and 0-2-0 in league action. 

Senior Alison Grant returned to the cage for all 90 minutes of play and registered five saves. Controlling the match with a sturdy offensive pressure, the Big Red delivered 14 shots and kept Oberlin from securing an offensive opportunity.

Following a Denison corner three minutes into the match, the Big Red recorded their first shot of the match, but were blocked by the Crimson and Gold defense. Regaining control of the ball, Denison drilled a second shot that ricocheted off the crossbar and nearly rolled into the net before Grant was able to make the stop. 

The Big Red sent another shot on target at 25' from nearly 30 yards out as Grant kept the opponents out of the net. Oberlin was unable to find an opportunity to notch a shot as both teams entered the break scoreless. 

Denison opened scoring action nearly halfway through the second period, dribbling the ball past the Crimson and Gold backline and slipping the shot past Grant at 64:39. In the 76th minute, the Big Red registered a second goal to double their lead. Building off of their momentum, Denison added a third goal less than two minutes later. Oberlin battled to control the ball but the Big Red backline stood their ground to keep the Crimson and Gold out of the net. 

Oberlin will resume play on Saturday, October 18, when they host new conference member John Carroll. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m.
