Soccer Takes Down Michigan for First Road Win of Season
September 01, 2024 | Soccer
Third Win in Program History over a Big Ten Foe
ANN ARBOR, Mich. – The Ball State soccer team came back from an early 1-0 deficit to defeat Michigan 2-1 on Sunday afternoon.
The Cardinals (2-2) fell behind after the Wolverines (0-5) scored in the 8th minute, but Addie Chester claimed the equalizer off a pass from Acadia Murphy in the 20th minute to knot the score at 1-1.
Soon after, Delaney Caldwell notched her third goal of the season (30'). Chester assisted on the score that proved to be the game-winner as neither offense could find the back of the net during the final 60 minutes of the contest.
Ball State's attack was efficient to the tune of converting 2 of 5 shots taken on the day, while Michigan was limited to three total shots on goal. The Wolverines were stonewalled by the visiting defense after the early goal and trio of corner kicks.
Grace Konopatzki played the first half and collected a save in registering her first career win. Kate Pallante closed the game out in goal and also made a save.
The win was Ball State's third against a Big Ten Conference opponent in program history and first since Sept. 5, 2004 at Indiana.
The Cardinals conclude their three-game road stretch on Thursday when they play at Austin Peay at 6 p.m. ET (5 p.m. CT).
