WILLIAMSPORT, PA – The Lycoming College women’s soccer team recorded a non-conference victory, Wednesday afternoon, shutting out Lancaster Bible College, 2-0. The win improves the Warriors record to 6-5 overall this season.

Five minutes later the Warriors added an insurance goal when they were awarded a penalty kick for a foul in the box.
