Mount Pleasant, Mich. — The Central Michigan field hockey earned it's first victory of 2025 over Mercyhurst University Friday afternoon in shutout fashion, the Chippewa's first since 2020.
Sophomore Carolena Ryon led the Chippewa offense, logging two goals, while senior Mallory Camryn added on one goal and one assist. Junior Cameron Pluciennik logged the fourth Chippewa goal. Freshman Mora Rulli and senior Shannon Dwyer found their way to the scorebook, each logging an assist.
Although unable to crack the board in the first half, the Chippewa offense put heavy pressure on the Lakers back line. As a team CMU logged 13 shots, eight of landing on goal, alongside eight corners.
Ryon opened the Chippewa's scoring sneaking a shot by the Laker's keeper off a penalty stroke just under two minutes into the second half. Camryn followed up just two minutes later off a corner attempt, set up by Rulli and Dwyer, to double the Chippewa lead.
On the defensive end, heading into the fourth quarter keeper Ashley Cogger had yet to face a shot or corner by the Mercyhurst offense, thanks to suffocating pressure by the Chippewa mid and back lines.
Ryon struck for the second time in the fourth quarter; after receiving just a little too much space from the Laker's defense, she went five-hole on the keeper for third goal of the season.
Yet again, just two minutes later the Chippewas logged their final goal of the game as Pluciennik was able to get her stick on a shot from Camryn that was sailing just right of the cage. The goal was Pluciennik's first of the season.
Cogger ended the game, facing only one shot and one corner, recording her first shutout for the Chippewas.
Camryn's three-point performance adds to her chase of 100 career points. After Friday's victory she sits at 90.
Central Michigan will wrap up their weekend at home by taking on Mercyhurst for a second time Sunday, Sept. 7, at 1 p.m. for Dog Day.
