MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. - The University of Michigan field hockey team was shutout, 1-0, on the road at Central Michigan on Wednesday, Oct. 28. The Wolverines have dropped three games in a row, each by a single tally.
Michigan's most consistent offensive pressure came in the opening 35 minutes when it sent five of its eight shots on goal. Arguably the best chance for Michigan came at 16:12 when a CMU defender made a defensive save on senior Alex Zeringue (Fallbrook, Calif./Union). U-M registered four shots in the second half, two on goal, giving it a 12-7 shots advantage over CMU for the game. CMU's Melinda Curran turned aside each Wolverine attempt.
Despite being outshot, CMU had eight penalty-corner opportunities to Michigan's five and the Chippewas scored the only goal of the match off of a corner. With CMU owning an advantage in front of the U-M cage, Pam Seufert collected a rebound and scored at 55:28.
Michigan wraps up the regular season with a home game against No. 18 Indiana on Saturday, Oct. 31. Game time is 1 p.m.
