ANN ARBOR, Mich. - In a matchup delayed nearly two hours due to thunderstorms in the area, Trinity International looked ready for extra time, but an 89th-minute goal for the home team resulted in a 2-1 loss for the Trojans on Saturday afternoon.

Box Score

The Cardinals (3-0) took a first half lead in the 20th minute, with a goal from Nina Palushaj. Trinity (0-2) struggled to get into a rhythm on the attack, and were outshot by a 7-1 margin before the break.

The Trojans found their footing in the second half, and eventually scored the equalizer in the 54th minute, when Heather Ortiz collected Isabelle Danner's pass and put it past the keeper for her first goal of the season. Over the final 15 minutes the home team controlled possession again, outshooting TIU 6-0 and finally breaking through with just 93 seconds left to play in regulation. CUAA's Heather Emke recorded the go-ahead goal, and the Cardinals sealed the win after Nicole McKevitt's header was saved, preventing another Trojan comeback.

Trinity will wrap up the current three-match road trip on Tuesday, when they take on the Clarke (Iowa) Crusaders beginning at 2:30 p.m.
