EAST LANSING, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University soccer team suffered its first loss of the 2019 season, 2-0, to Michigan State University Aug. 29 at DeMartin Stadium. The game was called with just under 12 minutes remaining due to lightning.
In an evenly-matched first half, the Eagles and Spartans split possession rather evenly. Eastern saw an offensive burst 16 minutes in, firing off three shots on target in a five-minute span that were saved by the keeper for the Spartans.
Despite being edged nine-to-four in shots by the Spartans, Eastern Michigan and Michigan State ended the first half scoreless.
After the break, Michigan State's Camryn Evans broke the deadlock, scoring on a penalty kick in the 57th minute to give the Spartans the 1-0 lead.
The Eagles tried to respond in the 69th minute when Madeline Olson (Libertyville, Ill.-Libertyville) sailed a shot that deflected off the crossbar.
The Spartans doubled their lead in the 77th minute, edging a shot just over the gloves of Mabel Dunn (Oakville, Ontario-White Oaks Secondary) for the 2-0 lead.
A minute later, the game was called due to inclement weather.
Dunn tied her career high with eight saves, five of which came in the first half.
The Eagles return to the pitch Sunday, Sept. 1 at 7:30 p.m. as they take on the Louisville Cardinals at Lynn Stadium.
