No. 2: EMU Soccer Downs WMU To Win MAC Regular Season Title
On a rainy Halloween afternoon, Oct. 31, the Eastern Michigan University soccer team used a pair of second half goals to come back and down Western Michigan University, 2-1, at the WMU Soccer Complex. With the victory over the Broncos (9-5-4, 7-2-2 MAC), the Eagles (11-6-2, 8-2-1 MAC) claimed the outright Mid-American Conference regular season championship for the third time in program history and first since 2003.
Senior team co-captain Cara Cutaia recorded an assist and a goal to pace the Green and White in scoring. Cutaia played a lead pass to junior forward Angela Vultaggio, who scored EMU's first goal of the game to tie it up in the second half. Just five minutes later, Cutaia would blast a strike from 20 yards out that went over the outstretched WMU goalkeeper, Michelle Watson, for the game-winning goal. (FOR FULL RELEASE CLICK HERE)
