BEREA — The Ohio Northern men's soccer team had a successful trip to Baldwin Wallace on Wednesday, securing a 2-0 victory at George Finnie Stadium.

The Polar Bears are now 6-4-2 overall and 1-1-0 in the Ohio Athletic Conference. The loss dropped the Yellow Jackets to 6-6-1 overall and 0-2-0 in conference play.

ONU scored both of its goals in the first half, and they came courtesy of unassisted shots from senior Cameron Picard (Dayton/Wayne) and freshman Trevor Tabb (Toledo/Springfield).

Senior goalkeeper John Lombardo (Solon) made one save in securing his fourth shutout of the season and 20th of his career.

Senior Bryan Kern (Rocky River) attempted a game-high seven shots in the game to go with four from senior Levi King (Indianapolis, Ind./North Central).

The Polar Bears didn't waste much time in getting on the scoreboard, as Picard's goal, his second of the season, came just 9:31 into the contest.

ONU held that 1-0 lead until late in the first half when Tabb scored his team-high seventh goal of the season to make it 2-0 with 2:03 left before halftime.

Tabb's seven goals are tied for second-most in the OAC.

The Polar Bears out-shot Baldwin Wallace 15-2 in the first half and 14-3 in the second to finish with a huge 29-5 edge in that department overall.

Ohio Northern also finished with an 11-3 advantage in corner kicks.

The Polar Bears will re-take the field on Saturday when they travel for a 7 p.m. game at Muskingum.
