TOLEDO, Ohio -- The Central Michigan women's soccer team fell to 3-3 in Mid-American Conference play on Sunday with a 2-0 loss to reigning MAC Tournament champion Toledo at the Rockets' Scott Park.

The Chippewas are 5-9 overall following their third loss in four games. Toledo is 8-5-1, 4-2 MAC.

HOW IT HAPPENED
A tale of two halves, as CMU coach Peter McGahey described it.

"In the second half we came out and responded much better, had really good intensity in the second half and created a couple of really good chances," he said. "Unfortunately, we didn't score."

Alex Troy scored in the 24th minute to put the Rockets in front.

CMU, which did not record a shot in the first half, found some success generating offense and pressuring the Toledo goalkeeper to make saves during the back portion of the second half.

The Chippewas had two corner opportunities in the last 10 minutes of the game, but could not convert.

Hannah Scafaria scored in the 90th minute to ice it. The Chippewas were outshot 10-3 and lost the corner opportunity battle 9-4.

IN GOAL
CMU redshirt freshman goalkeeper Brianna Wallbridge, who sat out Thursday's loss to Bowling Green in favor of sophomore Morgan Britain, finished with eight saves.

NEXT
CMU plays two MAC road games next weekend, the first when it goes to Kalamazoo on Friday, Oct. 12 (4 p.m.) to face archival Western Michigan (10-4, 4-2 MAC). The Chippewas will then go to DeKalb, Ill. to face Northern Illinois (1-13, 0-6) on Sunday, Oct. 14 (3 p.m.).
