KALAMAZOO, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – A sloppy second half plagued the Eastern Michigan University women's soccer team in its Mid-American Conference opener Friday evening, Sept. 23, against Western Michigan University. The Eagles (2-5-2, 0-1-0 MAC) gave up a season-high five goals, all of which came in the second half, as EMU dropped the match, 5-0.
Senior Madison Hirsch (Troy, MIch.-Troy) recorded the Eagles' lone shot in the first half, sending a header on frame in the sixth minute. The quick flick on by Hirsch was saved by the WMU keeper and stood as the only scoring chance for the Eagles in the first 45 minutes of play.
