DETROIT (8/14/2019) -- The University of Detroit Mercy women's soccer team concluded its preseason schedule with a 1-0 setback to Central Michigan on Wednesday at Titan Field.

Detroit Mercy had five shots in the game and four were in the second half, including some strong scoring opportunities off free kicks. The best came in the last 10 minutes as senior Casey Couturier's header hit the crossbar and bounced out at 80:33 and sophomore Julie Ann Piechocki's shot was just wide at 85:42.

The Titan goalies made four saves in the game.
