MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. — Central Michigan Soccer dropped its final home non-leaguer to Wis.-Green Bay, 1-0, Sunday.

The Chippewas were held upright by senior keeper Allison LaPoint (Royal Oak, Mich. / Shrine Catholic) who thwarted away the first seven shots on-goal by the Phoenix before having the seal broken at the start of the 78^th minute. LaPoint added one more stop in the 86^th minute for eight on the day, up to 230 for her career.

Despite a narrow margin in total shots, 14-13 for Green Bay, the Phoenix held a notable 9-5 advantage in on-target attempts though multiple were on-frame crosses easily handled by LaPoint.

Lauren Walker (Essexville, Mich. / Garber) took the strongest of CMU's five on-target shots in the 63^rd minute as Ashley Scesniak (Hoffman Estates, Ill. / William Fremd) headed back a weakly-cleared ball outside the 18' to Cece Mernatti (St. Clair Shores, Mich. / Lakeview) who then redirected it to Walker. All three mentioned earned a shot on-goal in the contest.

Central Michigan Soccer concludes the 2024 nonconference schedule Wednesday (Sept. 11) at Purdue Fort Wayne for a 4 p.m. kickoff. The 2024 Mid-American Conference schedule opens Sept. 19 at Eastern Michigan.
