10/4/2014 12:00:00 AM | Women's Soccer
Youngstown -- Sophomore Kathy Baquero's goal in the 14th minute was all the offense needed as the Youngstown State women's soccer team defeated Oakland, 1-0, on Saturday evening at Farmers National Bank Field. Senior goalkeeper Jackie Podolsky also broke the school's all-time wins record.
With the win, the Penguins improve to 6-4-2 overall and 2-0-1 in the Horizon League while Oakland falls to 3-9-1 overall and 1-2-0 in the league.
The win marks the fourth this season for Podolsky and the 13th of her career.
Junior Katie Hohmann centered a pass into the left side of the penalty box where Baquero's header found the right-corner of the goal past a diving Allison Holland at the 13:05 mark. The goal was Baquero's team-leading fifth score of the season and Hohmann's third assist of the year.
The Golden Grizzlies outshot the Penguins in the first half, 6-4, and Joan Sieja nearly tied the match at the 19:59 mark when her shot bounced off the crossbar.
Freshman Katie Hackos's shot on goal at the 23:13 mark was saved by an Oakland defender while Holland denied senior Chelsey Haney's shot-on-goal attempt at 35:06.
The Penguins continued putting pressure on the Golden Grizzlies' defense with four shots in the first seven minutes of the second half.
Baquero's header was saved by Holland at the 45:35 mark, Hohmann's shot went wide at 49:35, Holland made a save on Tyesha Kizer's attempt at 50:41 and Cara Armstrong shot at 51:54 sailed wide right.
Oakland took just four shots in the second half, compared to eight for the Penguins, and none were on goal.
For the match, the Penguins outshot Oakland, 12-10, and had six shots on goal to zero for the Golden Grizzlies. Each team had three corner kicks while the Penguins were whistled for 16 fouls to Oakland's 10.
The Penguins visit Detroit, Wednesday, Oct. 8 at 3 p.m.
