The Shippensburg University women’s soccer team lost a close game in double overtime, 2-1, on Saturday evening in a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) game at Clarion University’s Memorial Stadium.
Shippensburg (1-3-1, 1-3 PSAC) fought all the way back against Clarion (3-3-1, 2-3-1 PSAC), only to lose in a heartbreaker in the second overtime period.
After allowing a goal in the 53rd minute, the Raiders managed to tie it up on a goal in the final minute from senior Bailey Bzdak. It took until the second overtime period for the game to be decided when Clarion’s Dani McNally scored on a shot from just outside the goal box.
Bzdak made the most of her opportunity after being substituted into the game. She added onto her collegiate goal total with the seventh goal of her career.
The Raiders totaled 10 shots on goal, and sophomore Isabella Weigel led the way with four shots on goal.
Freshman goalkeeper Delaney Shifflett made three saves in the loss. The Raiders played some stout defense throughout the game, holding Clarion to only five shots on goal. However, it was not enough to get them their second win of the campaign.
The Raiders continue their stretch of road games with a game against Chestnut Hill on Monday afternoon at 4 p.m.
