Based on preseason predictions and performances, the women’s soccer team is currently down in their normal season’s performance. The preseason was a conference-only season - meaning they played in fewer games than they would during their normal season. They were predicted to place third in preseason, but finished sixth. The team performed 5-3-2 (win-loss-tie) in Horizon League’s preseason. This loss puts the team in a hard place with their overall record at 1-6 at this point in the normal season. While OU was able to hold them off from scoring more during the first half, MSU was able to slide their second goal in with less than two minutes remaining on the board before halftime. MSU started off aggressive, scoring their first goal less than four minutes into the game. Grizz, The Golden Grizzlies and supporting Oakland University sports teams started off the game with a march accompanied by chants and cheers led by the Oakland University Dance Team starting at Elliot Tower and ending at the stands. Ultimately, MSU played harder and more aggressive, resulting in their two goals on OU’s women. OU’s women played well and fought hard - their teamwork and communication was on par. This marks the Grizzlies fourth consecutive year losing to MSU. Women’s soccer’s match against Michigan State University (MSU) ended in an unfortunate shutout loss on Thursday, Sept.
