Ohio State women’s soccer pulled off a stunning upset in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
Despite being outshot 36 to 8, the Buckeyes took down No. 1 seed Notre Dame, scoring the game’s only goal in double overtime to earn a 1-0 win over the Fighting Irish.
Sophomore forward Jadin Bonham scored the goal with just 34 seconds left to play in the second overtime, after which the game would have gone to penalty kicks.

The win over Notre Dame, who was ranked as the No. 2 overall team in the country and had lost just once all season before Thursday night, was Ohio State’s first-ever win over a team ranked in the top two nationally.
With its victory, Ohio State advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA women’s soccer tournament – where its season ended last year – for the second year in a row.
The Buckeyes, who are 10-4-6 on the season, will now face No. 5 seed Baylor in South Bend on Sunday. The game kicks off at 2 p.m. and will be broadcast by ESPN+.
