Shippensburg (4-4-1, 3-4-1 PSAC) was outshot 13-5, but managed a victory against rival Bloomsburg 1-0 in a downpour at David See Field.
Shippensburg remains undefeated at home, even though they were outshot 6-2 on shots on goal.
It looked like the Huskies (4-4-1, 3-4-1 PSAC) were going to take an early lead when Rachel Yenney shot a great ball at the Shippensburg goal, but goalie Leah Roy made an amazing save, pushing it over the top crossbar.
Shippensburg’s saving grace came in the 41st minute in the form of senior Haley Jones. She was taking the ball up the side of the field and instead of setting up for a cross, she took it in and kicked it over the hands of Bloomsburg goalie Devon Haviland.
Freshman Tori Mills assisted the only goal, her first of the season. Casey Rightmyer had a shot on goal, and Mallory Patterson also had a shot.
Shippensburg’s undefeated home team has a real test when they face the undefeated Gannon University on Saturday, October 3, 2015, at David See Field.
