Cardinals Suffer Setback on Late Goal at Kent State
September 22, 2024 | Soccer
KENT, Ohio – The Ball State soccer team was the aggressor for much of Sunday's match at Kent State before the Golden Flashes scored in the 74th minute to prevail 1-0 at Dix Stadium.
The Cardinals (5-4, 0-2 Mid-American Conference) led the shots on goal and corner kicks categories 6-1 each, but the Golden Flashes (5-2-1, 2-0 MAC) cashed in on their only shot on target midway through the second half when Alisa Arthur found the back of the net.
Delaney Ahearn, Kaitlyn Fraser, Emily Roper, Aleyna Quinn and Ainsley Schaufele each had shots on goal for the visitors, while Fraser had a look that bounced off the left post late in the first half.
Overall, the Cardinals got off nine shots to Kent State's five. Four of Ball State's shots on goal occurred in the first period.
Heidi Marshall collected five saves for the Golden Flashes to earn the win. Grace Konopatzki went the distance in goal for Ball State but suffered the loss on the late Kent State tally.
Ball State's next match is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Thursday at Akron.
