In a must-win situation, the Central Michigan women’s soccer team was shut down at the CMU Soccer Complex.
The Chippewas (7-8-3, 2-6-2 Mid-American Conference) lost to Western Michigan (9-7-1, 4-5-1) on Sunday, ending any chances at making the MAC Tournament.
Just 12 minutes into the game, Central Michigan earned its first scoring chance when junior forward Lexi Pelafas made a huge run, got the ball, and fired a shot off the post.
Pelafas, who broke CMU’s all-time scoring record and leads the team with 12 goals, finished with five shots.
The junior was one of many players who could not capitalize on scoring efforts against Western Michigan.
