CHICAGO - The Purdue Fort Wayne women's soccer team dropped its season opener at Chicago State on Thursday night (Aug. 17) 1-0.
Chicago State scored in the opening 10 minutes after slipping past a Mastodon defender and winning a one-on-one. Despite the 1-0 deficit, the Mastodons controlled possession for most of the contest.
Purdue Fort Wayne had two corner kicks in the first half that threatened an equalizer, but neither found the back of the net.
About 10 minutes into the second half, the 'Dons had the best opportunity of the game to that point when Mackenzie Evans found a through ball in the six-yard box. Moments later, Morgan Reitano shot from inside the 18 that Chicago State's keeper managed to save while falling backwards.
The 'Dons managed to find the back of the net with less than 18 minutes left, but it was waved off after an offsides call.
Purdue Fort Wayne falls to 0-1 and Chicago State improves to 1-0. The Mastodons will host Saint Francis (Ind.) on Sunday at the Hefner Soccer Complex at 1 p.m.
