Recapping Last Weekend
Ohio State kicked off its 2021 spring schedule with a game on Sunday vs. Rutgers, falling 2-1 in overtime to the Scarlet Knights
The scoring started early as Rutgers struck first just 3:19 into regulation. Kassidy Shetler scored unassisted after gathering a rebound off the pads of Ohio State goalie Aaliyah Hernandez for an early 1-0 Scarlet Knights lead.
That’s how things stood for the next 37 minutes, but
Emma Goldean and
Nikki Trzaska changed that late in the third quarter. Trzaska centered a pass to Goldean from right to left and she put the ball past Rutgers goalie Gianna Glatz to knot the score at 1-all.
