The first-ever Ohio Northern University women's soccer spring alumni game and Team Brady benefit was a success.
The women's soccer alumni turned out in fantastic form with classes from 1996 to the most recent 2012 alums represented. The game itself also ended up being a fun and competitive event. A special thanks goes out to everyone that came out to support Team Brady and and the women's soccer efforts.
