Vermillion, S.D. — Central Michigan Soccer dropped a 1-0 decision at South Dakota Sunday in the final match of a three-match road nonconference swing.

Transfer senior Taylor Primack (Lindenhurst, Ill. / Lakes Community) made her Chippewa debut in goal, tallied five saves in the contest.

Melaina Troy (Rochester Hills, Mich. / Rochester) and Jordan Bailey (Huntington Beach, Calif. / Huntington Beach) were responsible for Central Michigan's pair of on-target attempts in the second half, both in the 63^rd minute.

Nine players for CMU collected a shot out of the team's 12 on the day, including a four-shot melee in the 10^th minute, three of which were redirected in traffic before getting to the Coyotes' keeper before the fourth was sent just wide of the goal by freshman Sofia Spano (Bloomfield Hills, Mich. / Bloomfield).

Neither side recorded an on-target attempt until South Dakota's goal in the 41^st minute. The Coyotes drove to the end line to Primack's left, lined in a tight cross to set up a header inside the 6' on the opposite post.

Central Michigan Soccer returns to Mount Pleasant Thursday for a 4 p.m. kickoff against Wright State to conclude the 2025 nonleague slate. The Chippewas remain at the CMU Soccer Complex next Sunday (Sept. 14, 1 p.m.) to open Mid-American Conference play against Ohio.
