TOLEDO, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) - A halftime tie got away from the Eastern Michigan University soccer team versus the University of Toledo Sunday, Oct. 8, at Scott Park. The Eagles (5-9-1, 2-4-0 MAC) fought back to even the score late in the first half, but the Rockets (6-5-3, 3-1-2 MAC) used three second-half goals to clip the Eagles, 4-1.

EMU and UT put six shots on frame each, while Toledo held a 15-10 edge in shots. The Green and White earned a game-high six corners and surrendered just five.

A third-minute strike by the Rockets put the Eagles behind early, but constant pressure by UT over the next 10 minutes kept EMU's backline busy.
