Box Score (PDF)
ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Marshall women's soccer (0-1) battled in the first half, but the Michigan Wolverines (1-0) scored four goals in the second half as the Herd fell 5-0 in its season opener in Ann Arbor Thursday.
"Michigan's a very technical team and executed their game plan very well," Marshall head coach Kevin Long said. "We proved to be very dangerous at times, but needed to be more consistent in our offensive options."
Michigan fired off the first two shots of the match, but Marshall keeper Lindsay Langley stepped up and made saves on both attempts.
Rene Ross recorded the Herd's first shot in the seventh minute, but the attempt went right of the target.
After a third save by Langley in the 19th minute, Michigan's Meredith Haakenson netted the first goal of the contest nearly 26 minutes into the opening half of play.
Mary Lawman fired a shot on goal for Marshall in the 31st minute, but the Wolverine keeper recorded the save and helped keep Michigan's lead 1-0 at the half.
Michigan came out firing in the second half getting goals from Raleigh Louman and Sarah Stratigakis in the 47th and 54th minutes, respectively, to make it 3-0.
Courtney McVicker came on in relief of Langley in the 74th minute and quickly made her first career save in the 75th in her Thundering Herd debut.
In the 77th minute, Lawman was ejected from the match, receiving a red card and the Wolverines were given a penalty kick. Danielle Woolfe took the shot from the penalty spot and scored making it 4-0 Michigan.
Haakenson recorded her second goal of the match in the 86th minute to give the Wolverines a 5-0 win.
Marshall was outshot 23-3 against Michigan and were held without a shot in the second half. The Wolverines also had seven corner kicks to the Herd's three.
"We were under great pressure all night, but losing Mary to her red card became too much for us to overcome tonight," Long said. "I think we can recover and come back with a more unified effort defensively on Sunday."
MU will look to rebound on Sunday as it closes out it's opening road trip at Michigan State.
