Senior midfielder Savannah Beetcher runs the ball up the field to set up an offensive strike on Sept. 29 at the CMU Soccer Complex. After 90 minutes of regular time and two 10-minute overtime periods against Akron, a Mid-American Conference victory continues to elude the Central Michigan soccer team.
The match ended in a 1-1 draw, moving CMU to 5-4-2 on the season and 0-2-1 in the MAC.
Junior Lexi Pelafas found the back of the net for the eighth time this season, scoring the lone Chippewa goal with a header from a corner kick. The goal came just eight minutes into the first half, assisted by freshman Sarah Mitchell.
