The University of Akron women’s soccer team picked up its first conference win of the season on Thursday in a major upset versus Central Michigan, 3-2.
The Zips improved to 4-9-4 (1-4-4 MAC) while Central Michigan fell to 13-2-2 (5-2). Akron picked up its first win since Sept. 8 versus Robert Morris.
The win was a surprise considering the success of the Chippewas this season, and it was even more surprising as the Zips were losing 2-0 with six minutes remaining in regulation. However, in the 84th minute Ashley Amato registered her fourth goal of the season on an assist from Shea O’Brien.
