MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. - The Toledo women's soccer team allowed an own goal off a corner kick 4:26 into the match and could never recover, eventually falling 5-0 to Central Michigan at the Soccer and Student Recreation Facility on Thursday night.
Toledo (5-5-3, 2-1-2 MAC) managed just one shot in the opening half compared to 10 attempts for the Chippewas. The Rockets ended the match with four shots, while CMU countered with 17.
Central Michigan (6-4-3, 1-2-2 MAC) earned its first conference win of the season by scoring its most goals in any match this season.
CMU's Lexi Pelafas proved why she was named first team all-conference last season by scoring in the eighth and 24th minutes to increase Toledo's deficit to 3-0 at halftime.
Pelafas completed her hat trick with a tally in the 57th minute and Sheila Magnan capped the scoring with a 67th-minute marker.
Redshirt freshman Madison Perrin made four saves compared to three by the Central Michigan netminder.
The women's soccer team returns for Homecoming weekend to Scott Park for a match against Eastern Michigan on Sunday, Oct. 8 at 1:05 p.m.
