Tonight we celebrate the wonderful tradition of "Fish Camp Night." Texas A&M will face Ohio State in a freshman-filled Ellis Field. The match is set to kickoff at 8PM.
The Aggies tend to save their tougher home non-conference games for fish camp night as they're guaranteed a raucous crowd to boost their already advantageous home field ambiance. Well, Ohio State is certainly a name team. But the Buckeyes might be in the midst of a down year.
After receiving votes in the preseason poll, the Buckeyes have begun the year winless. OSU is 0-2-1 with home losses to Louisville (1-2) and Missouri (1-3). Their tie came in Orlando at UCF (1-1). Last Sunday's match at USF was cancelled. Their 2018 season ended in a first round loss at Wake Forest
OSU has been outscored by a total of 3-6. Goalkeeper Redshirt freshman Jordan Silkowitz has 14 saves in her 290 minutes in goal.
Junior forward Marissa Birzon has 2 of the team's goals on just 2 shots. Sophomore forward Kayla Fischer has the other goal and a team high of 12 shots.
Izzy Rodriguez, a junior defender is a three year starter and was named to the Hermann Trophy watch list this season.
Ohio State has been given 4 yellow cards through three games and averages 8 fouls per match.
This match marks the second meeting of the two teams. A&M won the first way back in 1999.
This should be a fun match for the freshman to experience. It's a big name, even if it's not the best team we'll face this year. It's an opportunity for our side to continue improving and to, perhaps, win over some new fans.
