(ADA, Ohio) – The Wilmington College women's soccer team put up a valiant effort against a solid Ohio Northern squad Wednesday night but couldn't complete a comeback after trailing 2-0 heading into halftime.

This would be followed up a few minutes later with a goal from sophomore Alex Wilson, who took advantage of a poor goal kick.

The Quakers had a few more shots throughout the final moments of the game but couldn't find the equalizer.
