By SU Sports Information

The Shippensburg University men’s soccer team had to rally to reach overtime on the road Friday night against WVIAC titan West Virginia Wesleyan but ended up on the short end of another madcap match, falling 3-2 to the Bobcats from Buckhannon. The Raiders and the Bobcats — squads that have reached the NCAA tournament in each of the last two seasons — played to a scoreless first half before the physical play and emotion reached a fever pitch after the intermission.

Defeat previous champion: check

By Michael Shipman

After a 40-minute lightning delay just 12 minutes into the game, goals from Taylor Bender and Bre White propelled the Shippensburg University field hockey team to a 3-0 win over the top-ranked West Chester University Golden Rams. After the lightning delay, the game resumed, and nine minutes later, Bender got the Raiders on the board when she connected with the back of the cage with an assist from Sam Langone, who caught the rebound in front of the cage off a missed strike from Bre White. Bender would score again in the start of the second half, her fourth of the season, with an unassisted goal.
