Soccer Falls to Ohio on Pair of Second Half Goals
October 13, 2024 | Soccer
MUNCIE, Ind. – Avery Fenchel's goal in the 12th minute against Ohio solidified her spot as the second-highest goal scorer in program history, but it was not enough to get the edge over the Bobcats Sunday afternoon, who scored two second half goals to win 2-1 at the Briner Sports Complex.
The Cardinals (7-5-2, 2-3-2 Mid-American Conference) got on the board first with Fenchel's 28th career goal, as she knocked in a shot off a deflection from Addie Chester. Ball State and Ohio (9-1-4, 4-0-3 MAC) went into the halftime break with the hosts leading 1-0.
With the Cardinals down 2-1 late in the second half, Fenchel recorded her game-high fourth shot attempt, sending the ball into the bottom left of the net, but her goal would be called off due to an offside call from the official.
The Cardinals defended Ohio well in the first half, holding the Bobcats scoreless with a single shot on goal. Ohio brought more aggression in the second half, recording a total of 11 shots against Ball State's four.
Overall, Ohio took more shots (17-8) and more on goal (6-3) to remain unbeaten in conference play. The Bobcats earned more corner kicks (4-2) and were called for more fouls in the match.
Grace Konopatzki made four saves on the day for the hosts, while Ohio's goalkeeper Celeste Sloma registered two. Jaimason Brooker scored both goals for the Bobcats, which came in the 58th and 71st minutes.
Ball State returns to action at 7 p.m. on Friday at Miami (OH).
