The No. 12 Ohio Northern women's soccer team opened their 2012 campaign with a 1-1 tie against Grove CIty (Pa.) Friday afternoon at the ONU Soccer Field.
Both teams stand at 0-0-1 on the young season.
The Polar Bears struck first when sophomore Kristina Klusek took a pass from junior Lauryn Zielinski and rocketed a shot from the top right of the goalie box into the net.
The goal was her first of the season.
Klusek almost gave added another goal in the 51st minute by making a nice move in the right of the goalie box around a defender.
