Women's soccer
ATHENS, Ohio -- Cathryn Rogers converted on a penalty kick early in the 82nd minute, and the Ohio defense took care of the rest Wednesday in a 1-0 women's soccer victory over Marshall at Chessa Field.
Ohio goalkeeper Mattie Liston recorded her second shutout of the season for the Bobcats (2-2-0).
Marshall's record slipped to 2-2-2.
"Our possession was fairly good in spurts, and we were organized defensively," Ohio coach Stacy Strauss said. "We did a good job taking away their threatening players, which is what we wanted. Marshall is a good team, and they put a lot of pressure on the ball. That forced us to play quicker."
Ohio's defense held Marshall without a shot on goal through the first half.
Megan Tabler nearly scored for Marshall in the 61st minute on a shot that ricocheted off the crossbar.
Marshall also missed two scoring chances in the 88th minute.
