Two Early Goals Lead Soccer to Second Straight Road Win
September 05, 2024 | Soccer
CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – The Ball State soccer team scored two early goals to beat Austin Peay 2-1 on Thursday night at Morgan Brothers Field.
The Cardinals (3-2) struck first on about a 30-yard shot by Avery Fenchel on a fastbreak off an assist from Delaney Ahearn to lead 1-0 in the 14th minute. About eight minutes later, Delaney Caldwell put a shot in the back of the net off a dish from Addie Chester to put Ball State ahead by two goals.
Fenchel's goal was the 24th of her career, while Caldwell upped her season total to a team-best four with the tally.
The Governors (2-3-1) scored early in the second half from a chaotic play to cut the deficit to 2-1, but the Ball State defense limited them to five shots on the day, including only two on goal. The Cardinals controlled possession and pace of the game to the tune of 19 shots (10 on goal).
Starting Ball State goalie Grace Konopatzki collected one save while playing the first half to earn her second win of the year, and Kate Pallante closed it out in the second half for the second straight match.
The Cardinals return home for a match for the first time since Aug. 20 on Sunday when they host Queens at 1 p.m. at the Briner Sports Complex.
