Chippewas outpace Wright State in shots, second-half corners but come up empty
MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. — Central Michigan Soccer finished the 2025 nonconference slate on the wrong end of a 1-0 result Thursday afternoon against Wright State at the CMU Soccer Complex.
The Chippewas fell behind 90 seconds into the match as the Raiders recovered a loose ball behind midfield and sent ahead a pass that covered more than half the field, leaving a one-on-one matchup to drive and score.
"Really disappointed with the result," Head Coach Jeremy Groves said. "I thought we did enough to get something from the game. The little details are really hurting us right now."
Central Michigan battled on despite the early misstep to hold Wright State without another on-target attempt for the remainder of the half.
The offense came back from intermission ready to push, with multiple runs and set pieces to capitalize on. Defender Abby Freese (Dillsburg, Pa. / Northern) accumulated four attempts in close via corners, including an on-frame attempt in the 65th minute.
Alyssa Di-Campli (Queanbeyan, Australia / St. Clare's) led the tally with two shots on-goal, one in each half.
"I'm not sure how we didn't score in the second half. We created many quality moments."
Freese and Di-Campli were two of six freshmen in the lineup for the Chippewas Thursday, the most through the season's first six matches, alongside Jimena Perez Ayala (Monterrey, Mexico / ASF Monterrey), Kylee Weed (Jackson, Mich. / Northwest), Liv Moulton (Rochdale, England / Sixth Form) and Sofia Spano (Bloomfield Hills, Mich. / Bloomfield Hills).
"Our young team is getting better ever week. I'm not sure the results are reflecting our performances, but we have to put together a full 90 minutes now that we are moving into conference play."
The Chippewas open the Mid-American Conference slate Sunday, hosting Ohio for a 1 p.m. kickoff.
