YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — In its first action of the season, the Eastern Michigan University soccer team defeated Central Michigan University, 2-1, inside the St. Joe's Sports Dome, Thursday, March 4.

In the opening half, Central Michigan (0-1) controlled most of the play, finding the back of the net at the 20-minute mark and holding a 1-0 lead at the break. EMU (1-0) saw a chance to level in the 29th minute when it was awarded a corner, but could not convert its first attempt of the night. Despite the setback, Eastern would come out firing in the second half, getting a few good looks on goal.
