The Shippensburg University women’s soccer team lost a pair of Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference games (PSAC) games over the week to East Stroudsburg and Seton Hill universities.
Shippensburg (2-7-1) started the week with a loss at home on Wednesday against East Stroudsburg (7-2-1) 4-0. Shippensburg was outshot 24 to 7 by East Stroudsburg, with only being able to get two of those shots on goal. Both shots came in the second half.
All four of East Stroudsburg’s goals came in the first half between the 14th minute and the 25th minute. Freshman Delaney Shifflett and senior Kayla Kennedy both combined to make 10 saves for the Raiders.
Shippensburg’s second game of the week was another PSAC contest Saturday afternoon at Seton Hill (7-3-1) at Dick’s Field. The Raiders fell again, losing 4-1.
The Raiders were trailing 3-0 at halftime, but were able to get a goal back when sophomore Izzy Weigel scored on a penalty kick at the 62nd minute, her third of the season, which leads the team. However, Shippensburg’s hopes of getting anything out of the match ended at the 72nd minute when Seton Hill scored its fourth goal.
Kennedy started in goal for the Raiders, and matched her career-high with 10 saves. Senior Mallory Patterson led the team with three shots during the game.
The Shippensburg women’s soccer team returns to action on Oct. 4 at Bloomsburg University.
The Raiders will return home Oct.7 against the University of Pittsburgh-Johnstown.
