The University of Cincinnati Bearcats narrowly pulled out a win over the Falcons in the home, and season, opener for BGSU. The game ended in a 1-1 tie at the end of regulation, but the Bearcats were able to make the most out of a questionable free-kick call in the second overtime period to secure their victory.
The Bearcats struck first, taking a 1-0 lead over the home team early in the first half on an own goal by the Falcons. BG thwarted many UC attacks as the game continued and did not allow the visitors any more good chances on goal during regulation. The team pushed on with consistent offensive pressure and Alyssa Zuccaro netted the equalizer with a little over 5 minutes left in the match. Sarah Vonderbrink and Maddie Wideman were credited with assits.
Although a disappointing loss, the team recognizes many positive aspects in terms of how they played. Spectators would agree that BG easily had some of the best opportunities to score on the day, in a game that was exciting to watch due to it's physical nature and fast pace. The team looks to rebound from the loss this weekend as we host Nationally ranked West Virginia on Friday (kickoff 5:00pm) and Xavier on Sunday (kickoff 1:00pm).
Hope to see you on the sidelines! R O L L A L O N G!
