The Ohio Northern football team put on an offensive showcase, featuring a plethora of big plays, its first home game of the 2019 season Saturday at Dial-Roberson Stadium.

The Polar Bears downed Otterbein 45-35 to improve to 2-2 on the season and 2-1 in Ohio Athletic Conference play. 

"I thought it was a really solid performance," ONU head coach Dean Paul said. "We knew Otterbein was going to be a good test. After a disappointing loss last week, it was important for us to have a good week of practice and come out strong against a quality team, and we did that."

John Sternasty has played soccer his entire life.

From competing on his sister's U5 team as a three-year old to now where he suits up for the Polar Bears as a team captain, soccer has been a constant in Sternasty's life.

But for the Ohio Northern senior, soccer is more than just a sport in which he has excelled. It's a daily release from the rigors of college courses, a physical activity that demands the best of him and an arena that has given him lifelong friends and memories.
