AKRON, Ohio - Sparked by a 58th-minute tally from sophomore Anna Simmons (Manasas, Va.), the University of Akron women's soccer registered a 1-0 triumph past Wright State on Sunday (Aug. 25) at FirstEnergy Stadium.
How it Happened
The two sides waged a scoreless opening half with the Zips owning an 8-6 edge in shots in the first half.
