LYCOMING WOMEN’S SOCCER PLAYS WILKES TO A DRAW

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – The Lycoming College women’s soccer team hosted Freedom Conference rival Wilkes University, Thursday afternoon. The Warriors were on the defensive most of the match but held the Colonels scoreless for 110 minutes, playing the visitors to a 0-0 double-overtime tie. The shutout is Lycoming’s third in a row – they have now gone 350 minutes without allowing a goal. The Warriors are now 8-2-1 overall this season and 3-0-1 within the conference. Wilkes moves to 6-5-1 and 1-2-1.

Lycoming struggled mounting an offensive attack during regulation, managing just six shots and only one on goal. Their defense, however, turned back the Colonels at every opportunity and forced the extra periods. The Warriors found more pressure in the offensive end during the extra time, including a breakaway in the second overtime, but could not score the game-winning goal.

Wilkes, however, was no more successful as Lycoming’s defense and keeper Jessica Bennett (Fr./Crofton, Md.; South River) maintained the shutout to secure the draw. Bennett finished the game with 15 saves. Liz Pauly made three saves in net for the Colonels.

The Warriors play again on Sunday, October 10, when they host Lincoln University. Kickoff for the match is at 2 p.m.
