QUOTABLE
"We just didn't finish the game off. We played 69 minutes. We weren't the better team. They outplayed us, but sports are about finding a way to win. We did that for 69 minutes and unfortunately a couple of mistakes at the end led to the tying goal." - 12th-year Head Coach Neil Macmillan

UP NEXT
Ohio’s next game will be this upcoming Friday (Sep. 2) at Pruitt Field against UC Davis at 5 p.m.
