YPSILANTI, MI - Toledo surrendered two second half goals and dropped a 2-1 decision at Eastern Michigan (9-3-5, 5-1-3 MAC) on Friday at soggy Scicluna Field. With the setback, the Rockets fall to 9-6-2 overall, 5-3-1 in the Mid-American Conference.

The three-time defending MAC tourney champions jumped on the scoreboard first in the 26th minute on a tally by senior Heather Wesley. The four-year letterwinner blasted a shot into the back of the net off a rebound for her second goal of the season at 25:10. The assist was credited to classmate Molly Cornwell.

UT held the lead for the remainder of the opening half and a little over 20 minutes into the second stanza, before EMU's Julie Kaim registered the unassisted equalizer at 65:17. Kaim perfectly placed a shot from the left side just inside the right post past Toledo sophomore goalie Vicki Traven to draw the teams even.

Less than 10 minutes later, the Eagles struck again for the eventual match-winning score off the foot of Maggie Christensen. Off a corner kick, Christensen headed in the cross from Carissa Wilson to give the home team a lead it would not relinquish.

Eastern Michigan finished the contest with a slight 15-14 edge in shots and held a sizable 10-1 advantage in corner kicks. Cornwell paced UT's attack with four shots, while Katie Lozar had a team-high four shots for EMU.

Between the posts, Traven went the distance and was credited with four saves in a losing effort. Maggie Manville also played all 90 minutes for the Eagles and finished with seven stops to earn the victory.

The Rockets return to action on Sunday, Oct. 25 when they travel to Mount Pleasant, MI to battle MAC frontrunner Central Michigan. The opening whistle is slated for 1:00 p.m. from the CMU Soccer Complex.
