Senior keeper Tyler Gleason (Grove City, OH) posted 10 saves in the two shutout victories.
About the Eagles:
The 2009 GLIAC champions were undefeated in three games against GLIAC South opponents last week, including a thrilling 2-1 overtime win over rival Tiffin on Friday. Ashland followed the win over Tiffin with a 5-2 victory at Findlay to improve to 4-0-0 overall. Eight different players scored goals in the three games this week. With the wins, the Eagles jumped from No.17 to No. 12 in the latest NCAA Division II ranking.
This is the 12th matchup between the Panthers and Eagles, with ODU trailing the series 1-8-2. The two teams last met in 2009 at Ashland, resulting in a 1-1 draw.

The Storm opened their membership in the GLIAC with three losses in conference play to remain winless on the year. In the defeats, junior midfielder Miroslav Pezer and freshman midfielder Nathan Bias scored their first goals as members of the Storm, while senior defender Justin Mihaly found the back of the net.
This is the third matchup between the Panthers and Storm, with ODU leading the series 2-0. The two teams last met in 2009 in the Northern Kentucky Tournament, with the Panthers winning 2-0.
