Ohio Wesleyan 1, Earlham 0

Sept. 14, 2005

Freshman midfielder Emily Molchan (East Northport, N.Y./Northport) converted a penalty stroke during the first minute of the second half for the game's only score as Ohio Wesleyan edged Earlham in North Coast Athletic Conference play on Wednesday at the Henry Street Field.

The first half proved to be a tense goalkeepers' duel, with Ohio Wesleyan sophomore Katie Jones (Pine Plains, N.Y./Stissing Mountain) and Earlham's Anna Benfield each stopping everything they saw. Jones had 2 saves during the period, while Benfield was credited with 5 stops.

Ohio Wesleyan had the ball to open the second half and the Bishops threatened right away. Senior attacker Taneen Legree (Christiana, Pa./Octorara) chipped a shot toward the left post that Quaker defender Kate Eiring blocked. Earlham, however, was called for an illegal stop inside the circle and Ohio Wesleyan was awarded a penalty stroke, which Molchan converted to give the Bishops the lead with 34:12 left in regulation time.

The Bishop defense took over from there, holding Earlham without a shot during the remainder of the game to preserve the lead.

Ohio Wesleyan outshot Earlham, 11-4. Jones had 2 saves in the Bishop cage, while Benfield finished with 6 saves for the Quakers.
