EVANSTON, Ill. — Central Michigan Lacrosse concluded a weekend trip around Lake Michigan with a 25-2 loss at No. 2 Northwestern Sunday afternoon.

The Chippewas visit Cincinnati Friday (Feb. 20, 4 p.m. ET) as the fourth of seven straight road games to open the season.

Central Michigan produced 12 on-target attempts on the nationally contending Wildcats, with goals by Mia Bradley (Orchard Park, N.Y. / Orchard Park) and Lili Sorenson (Kildeer, Ill. / Stevenson).

Sorenson's goal was the first of her career, doing so in the Illinois-native's back yard, and registered an assist for Anna Farrar (Milton, Ga. / Cambridge).

Freshman goalie Abby Schroer (Frisco, Texas / Memorial) tallied eight saves in the latter 32-plus minutes of the contest after senior captain Leila Kahler (Spring Lake, Mich. / Spring Lake) took the brunt of the Northwestern onslaught in the first half. Two of Schroer's 10 goals allowed were in advantage situations for the Wildcats.

Natalie DiSanto (Waterloo, N.Y. / Waterloo) drew the Chippewas' three free-position attempts in the contest as she and Sorenson led the team with three shots on-goal apiece.

Alyssa Lowe (Plainfield, Ill. / North) took the efforts in the draw circle forward as CMU won four of 11 opportunities in the second half. Lowe and Isabella Bainbridge (Grand Rapids, Mich. / Forest Hills Northern) finished with two draws retrieved to their credit.

CMU posted a strong 11-of-12 in clear attempts, completing its last nine since the five-minute mark of the first quarter.

Chippewa Lacrosse has four more road bouts before it opens up the CMU Lacrosse Complex and the Mid-American Conference schedule March 14 against Robert Morris.
