Kershaw takes over in goal for CMU debut; a sixth true freshman logs a start in the season’s third outing
MADISON, Wis. — Central Michigan Soccer fell to No. 21 Wisconsin, 4-0, Thursday in the program's first appearance at the McClimon Complex since the Chippewas took home a 2-1 result during the 2011 campaign.
Â
Rachel Jackson (Bloomfield Hills, Mich. / Detroit Country Day) and Grace Cameron (Clio, Mich. / Flint Powers) each posted an on-target attempt in the match. Cameron's proved to be the strongest opportunity for the Chippewas, firing from well inside the 6' from the right post in the 35th minute.
Â
Transfer keeper Jadia Kershaw (Lewis Center, Ohio / Olentangy Orange) got the nod between the posts collecting five first-half saves.
Â
CMU made more adjustments to the starting lineup as Sofia Spano (Bloomfield Hills, Mich. / Bloomfield Hills) became the sixth of a seven-member true freshmen group to earn a start already this season and Jordan Bailey (Huntington Beach, Calif. / Huntington Beach) made her first start as a Chippewa after transferring in prior to the 2024 campaign.
Â
The Chippewas' drought against Big Ten Conference opponents was extended to eight straight since defeating Michigan State, 2-1, in 2016.
Â
Central Michigan Women's Soccer stays on the road to battle revenge-minded Cincinnati (Aug. 28) as the Bearcats fell, 2-1, at the CMU Soccer Complex last season.
