Last season, Lexi Pelafas topped the Central Michigan soccer team’s single-season scoring record with 16 goals.
In 2017, Pelafas is back to breaking records.
The junior forward shattered the all-time scoring record in CMU’s 2-1 loss to Kent State in its Mid-American Conference opener on Friday, Sept. 22.
“It started from the back,” Pelafas said. “The ball went from our back line to the midfield, then Sarah (Mitchell) had a beautiful ball in. Madison (Pogarch) made a run to open me up and I put the ball in the back of the net.”
The record-breaking shot allowed for Pelafas to pass Stephanie Martin with 28 career goals.
