Soccer Rides Early Second Half Goal to Win at Eastern Michigan
October 09, 2025 | Soccer
YPSILANTI, Mich. – The Ball State soccer rode an early second half goal to a 1-0 win at Eastern Michigan on Thursday afternoon at Scicluna Field.
Freshman Jordyn Klaasen scored her first collegiate goal off a corner kick assist from LG Moncrief in the 51st minute to give the Cardinals (6-5-2, 3-3-1 Mid-American Conference) a 1-0 lead that proved to be the difference against the Eagles (4-6-3, 2-2-3 MAC) in a consequential match for MAC Tournament seeding.
The win was Ball State's third in four tries on the road against conference opponents, and the team is 6-2 overall away from Muncie this year.
Kate Pallante collected two saves including one in the final minutes for her second solo shutout of the year. The Ball State backline limited Eastern to only seven shots on the day.
Joining Klassen with shots on goal from the Cardinals included Addie Chester, who placed three on goal among five total looks, Moncrief, Delaney Caldwell and Tori Monaco. Klaasen and fellow defenders Delaney Ahearn and Grier Isaacson went the full 90 minutes.
Ball State earned more corner kicks (8-5), while EMU committed more fouls (7-5) and offsides violations (5-1) on Thursday.
The Cardinals are set to return home to host Akron at 1 p.m. on Sunday.
