BGSU men’s soccer (6-6-2, 3-1-0) took down Oakland (3-5-6, 2-1-5) in a non-conference matchup from Rochester, Michigan on Tuesday night.
The Falcons stretch their winning streak to five, matching their longest since 2017, which came at the start of the season.
The Orange and Brown rallied both of their goals in the opening 30 minutes of the match, the first time scoring multiple in that span this season.
Sophomore defender Xavier Sims notched the first goal in the 22nd minute off a header; Freshman forward Joshua Pederson was the Falcon to hit Sims on the cross.
Sophomore midfielder Caue Ramos extended the Bowling Green lead to 2-0 after stealing an Oakland pass on the top of the box. He totaled a new career-high seven shots on the match.
Sims and Ramos are now tied with sophomore forward Tyson McCoy for most goals on the season for BGSU with three.
Falcon starting goalkeeper, senior Jason Ball, continued his dominant stretch in net. Ball counted up three saves on the match and no goals allowed, making it the first time he has had back-to-back clean sheets this season.
Bowling Green looks to continue rolling in Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) play against Belmont. The match will be played at Cochrane Stadium in Bowling Green, Ohio on Sunday, Oct. 25. Falcon Media Sports Network will have coverage of the event on bgfalconmedia.com.
