History was made at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium Friday night after the Ohio State Women's Soccer program shut out Georgetown 2-0 in their Elite Eight NCAA tournament game. With the win, Ohio State moves on to the semifinal round for the first time in program history.
The Buckeyes got on the board when Lauren Beachy converted a penalty kick in the 21st minute after Lauren Granberg was tripped up inside the box. Beachy scored not only her first goal of the season, but her first goal of her collegiate career.
The Buckeyes would then double their lead in the 53rd minute when Tiffany Cameron tracked down a long ball on the left wing, dribbled in and scored her 7th goal of the season by shooting far post over the head of Georgetown goalkeeper Jackie DesJardin.
From then on, the Buckeyes dominated possesion of the ball, outshooting Georgetown 17-8 for the game, including 5-4 on goal. Ohio State also had 7 corner kicks as compared to only 3 for Georgetown and Buckeye goalkeeper Katie Baumgardner recorded her 4th shutout of the season.
The Buckeyes will travel to Cary, North Carolina for the 2010 NCAA Women's College Cup this weekend to take on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. The game will be on Friday, December 3rd at either 4:00 pm ET or 6:30 pm ET.
