In their home opener, the Wolverines (2-2) netted the game's first goal at 14:05. Midfielder Laurie Peterson (Del Mar, Calif./Torrey Pines HS) served a great through-ball to spring Abby Crumpton (Rochester Hills, Mich./Rochester Adams HS) on a break-away. Crumpton rocketed a shot into the upper left corner for her second goal of the season and a 1-0 Wolverine lead.
Michigan continued to apply pressure throughout the remainder of the half but could not add to the lead. Arizona State (2-2) broke through with an offensive flurry to end the first half and open the second half, scoring three times within a 10:01 span. Stacey Tullock tied the game with an unassisted goal at 39:09. Tullock gained control of the ball in the box and fired a cross-field shot into the lower left corner of the net. Karine Inoue gave the Sun Devils a 2-1 lead at 41:21. Tullock made a slide tackle pass to Inoue inside the box, who blasted a shot into the lower right corner. Then, to open the second half, Tullock fed a through-ball to Jennifer Peterson on a break-away. Peterson chipped the ball into the net to close the scoring at 49:10.
The Wolverines did not go quietly as three times they drilled shots off the crossbar, the best chance coming with 2:15 left. Freshman Amy Sullivant (Utica, Mich./Eisenhower HS) blasted a shot from the right corner of the box which was blocked out and then followed with a rebound that caught the crossbar.
Michigan returns to action at noon on Sunday (Sept. 12) when it hosts Utah in the Nike Challenge at the Michigan Soccer Field.
