ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The No. 20-ranked University of Michigan women's soccer team controlled much of the attacking play Sunday afternoon (Sept. 27) but was unable to find the back of the net, falling 1-0 to Nebraska at U-M Soccer Stadium.
Michigan (4-3-3, 2-3-0 Big Ten) outshot Nebraska (3-3-5, 1-2-2 Big Ten) 14-5 and put nine attempts on target, but a late goal from the Huskers proved to be the difference.
The Wolverines applied pressure from the opening minutes. Ella Jablinskey forced a save in the sixth minute, and Lilley Bosley followed with another effort on target less than two minutes later. Jablinskey continued to threaten, while Melisa Kekic and Luciana Latino also tested the Nebraska defense during a first half in which Michigan held an 8-1 advantage in shots.
Michigan continued to create opportunities after halftime. Jablinskey forced another save in the 57th minute before Kekic put an attempt on frame less than two minutes later. Campbell Jewell added a late shot on goal as the Wolverines continued to push for the breakthrough.
Despite sustained pressure, U-M was unable to convert its chances. The Wolverines finished with a sizable advantage in both total shots, 14-5, and shots on goal, 9-2. Kekic and Jablinskey led Michigan with four shots apiece and three shots on goal each.
A Nebraska goal at 87:54 broke the scoreless tie and gave the Huskers a 1-0 advantage with just over two minutes remaining.
Malia Zillman played all 90 minutes in goal for the Wolverines and made one save.
Michigan will travel to Bloomington, Ind., to take on Indiana on Sunday (Oct. 4) at noon. The match will air live on Big Ten Network.
