Soccer Secures Fourth Straight Shutout in Win over CMU
October 10, 2024 | Soccer
MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – Addie Chester scored in the 18th minute and the Ball State soccer team's defense secured its fourth straight shutout to beat Central Michigan 1-0 on Thursday night at the CMU Soccer Complex.
The Cardinals 7-4-2 (2-2-2 Mid-American Conference) got what proved to be the only goal of the match when Chester used her left foot to score from about 18 yards out off an assist from Jordyn Jeffers. Chester increased her season goals total to seven and points total to 20, which both lead the team.
The Chippewas (4-5-4, 2-1-3 MAC) dropped their first conference contest of the year with the setback.
Ball State goalkeeper Grace Konopatzki (4-3-2) earned her first complete game shutout of the year with the clean sheet. The junior faced 13 shots from CMU, including three on goal, while extending her streak of not allowing a goal to more than 240 minutes.
The visitors were credited with seven shots, two being on goal, as Chester and Kaitlyn Fraser had a pair of shots each. Other Cardinals with one look each were Avery Fenchel, Delaney Caldwell and Emily Roper.
Central had more corner kick opportunities (5-2), and Ball State was whistled for more fouls (14-11). Both teams got called offsides twice each.
Ball State returns home to host Ohio at 1 p.m. on Sunday.
