Final Stats

The University of Cincinnati women’s soccer team generated chances on the road against Tulsa, but UC only generated one goal as they fell 2-1 on Sunday afternoon.

Tulsa (8-6-2, 2-3-1 American) garnered an early lead within the first 10 minutes, but the Bearcats (8-5-2, 2-3-0 American) responded in the 15^th minute on a goal from junior Laura Rose.

The two remained knotted into the second half until Tana Dake of Tulsa launched a shot from 30 yards out and found the back of the net for the eventual game-winning goal.
