3-1, 1-0, 164

The Polar Bears opened their OAC season on Saturday with an away contest at Muskingum and came away victorius by a margin of 3-1.

ONU opened the scoring after a ball from Cory Dobkins split two defenders and found the feet of Sophomore Chris Matejka. Matejka turned and drove at the Muskie backline off the dribble - finishing with a surgical strike from just outside the 18 that found the side netting.

A late first half foul from Muskingum proved costly - as the Bears converted a long free kick into a second goal via driven service from Austin Windsor, a flick-on from Dustin Connor and a composed high near post finish from Chistian Huelsman.

A goal from Muskingum injected some second half energy into the contest before Huelsman added another in the 85th minute off an assist from Dan Otanicar to make it 3-1.

3-1 win, 1-0 in the OAC and ONU record setting career win #164 for Coach Ridenour!
