MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. — Davidson scored two second-half goals to overcome a 1-0 deficit on Sunday in handing Central Michigan a 2-1 field hockey loss at Cristy Freese Field.
The game capped the season-opening weekend for CMU, which dropped a 3-2 decision to Indiana on Friday.
CMU took the lead 1-0 in the second quarter on a Rachel Ruttenberg goal, assisted by Kate Biglin. The score came off of a penalty corner at the 20-minute mark in the game.
Davidson tied it with a goal less than five minutes into the second half and then got the game winner early in the fourth quarter.
The Wildcats finished with a 15-11 edge in shots including an 8-5 advantage in shots on goal.
Sophomore goalkeeper Katie Maxim recorded five saves in 55 minutes. She was pulled for the extra attacker in the final five minutes.
Central Michigan is scheduled to entertain No. 2 Michigan in a nonconference game on Sunday, Sept. 5 (1 p.m.).
