The Cardinals, sitting 4-6 overall on the season, will finish out the week with a 1 p.m. matchup at Baldwin Wallace University come Saturday afternoon.

Neither team was able to score for almost the first seven minutes before Otterbein junior Katy Williams found the back of the net at the 23:02 mark.
