KENT: University of Akron junior Jordan Clark stepped toward the ball during a key moment Sunday and made the most of her opportunity.
Clark scored a goal following a free kick and helped visiting UA earn a 1-0 win over rival Kent State in a Mid-American Conference women's soccer match.
''I just cleared my mind of everything and just wasn't thinking,'' Clark said of the goal in the 87th minute. ''I was just going off reaction, which is usually the best thing to do for me.''
Clark's goal came from 24 yards away and extended the Zips' five-game winning streak. UA (8-6-2, 6-3-1) has clinched a spot in the MAC Tournament for the first time in program history.
The Flashes (7-8-2, 3-5-2) remain in the mix for the MAC Tournament.
Each team has one regular season game remaining.
Clark kicked the ball over a wall of KSU defenders and past Golden Flashes sophomore goalkeeper Kelly Sherwood, who dived for the ball and slightly deflected it into the right side of the net.
''That's a great win,'' UA coach Chris Pfau said. ''Kent State is a really well-coached team and this is a tough place to play.''
Pfau said his players have been ''maintaining their focus and concentrating'' defensively. UA shut out its fifth opponent in a row and has six shutouts this season.
Zips sophomore goalkeeper Jeny Wolbert had two saves. Senior Heather Rains, junior Alysia Virkler, sophomore Liz Cloutier and senior Kristen Gregg were the Zips' starting defenders. Junior Kyra Petrole also contributed to the shutout as a reserve.
''Both teams played with high intensity,'' KSU coach Rob Marinaro said. ''They capitalized on one [chance].''
Juniors Jordan Baranowski, Leigh Cullen and Andrea Schweisthal and senior Britni Back were key offensively for UA, which set program records for MAC wins in a season (six). The five-game MAC winning streak is UA's longest since women's soccer started in 2001.
''Our coach has really helped us a lot,'' Clark said. ''He is awesome. We have learned to really come together as a team and play.''

Wouldn't it be nice if these two meet in the MAC tournament? -- maybe the final!
