MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – The Ball State field hockey team fell to Mid-American Conference opponent Central Michigan, 2-1, Sunday afternoon at the Field Hockey Complex.
The Chippewas were the first to the leaderboard as Erin Dye scored off a Central Michigan penalty corner at 2:24 mark past Ball State senior goalkeeper Chelsea Mitchell (Steven, Pa./Cocalico).
The Cardinals evened the contest at 15:58 mark as senior forward Devanny Kuhn (Louisville, Ky./Sacred Heart Academy) dribbled through the Chippewas' defense and scored her fifth goal of the season.
Central Michigan followed that performance less than five minutes later with a second goal, scored by Paulina Lee, to secure the win.
Freshmen Laura Malinoski (Eastampton, N.J./Rancocas Valley Regional) and Sanne Hermans (The Hague, Holland) tallied three shots each during the contest, while Kuhn recorded two.
Senior defender Gretchen Lulow (Ballwin, Mo./Cor Jesu Academy) and freshman midfielder Tori Widrick (Cazenovia, N.Y./Cazenovia) also posted one shot each, while Mitchell finished the day with six saves during 70 minutes of action in the cage.
