WESTERVILLE, Ohio- Otterbein Women's Soccer advanced to its fourth-straight Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) Tournament championship match with a 2-0 victory over Baldwin Wallace.

The Cardinals will play host to the second seed, Ohio Northern, on Saturday at 2 p.m. The game will be the fourth-consecutive title match between the two schools and the fifth-straight time they've met in the OAC Tournament.

Despite having a first-round bye in the tournament and the cold weather, Otterbein was ready to roll on Thursday night as it took just over eight minutes for Delaney Earl to score the game-winner.

Earl and Anjuli Anderson played a back-and-forth game with each other just outside of the box before Anderson finally fed a pass into Earl, who buried a lefty shot in the upper right corner. The goal marked the 50th of her career. 

Baldwin Wallace kept themselves in the game with solid defense and ball possession, but could never find a quality opportunity to score. The Yellow Jackets attempted six first-half shots, but only three were on target.

Morgan Somers delivered an early dagger with a little less than nine minutes to play before the half when she beat her defender for an unassisted score.

The Cardinals held on to the two-goal advantage the rest of the way, with the defense posting its 11th clean sheet of the season, it's sixth in the last seven matches.

Otterbein posted a final shot advantage of 16-12, but the Cards saw 10 shots on goal compared to just four for BW.

Ohio Northern handed Otterbein its only conference loss of the season back on October 27, a 2-0 final. The familiarity of the two programs sets up what should be another thrilling championship match on Saturday at 2 p.m. inside of Memorial Stadium.
