Warriors Back on Track with Win at Cedar Crest

Allentown, Pa. – Lycoming College women’s soccer righted the ship after Saturday’s unsettling loss to Elizabethtown College with a 2-1 triumph over Cedar Crest College in Allentown on Monday afternoon.  The win improves the Warriors’ season mark to 6-2.

The freshman combination of Sarah Wingerden (Macedon, N.Y./Palmyra-Macedon) and Rebekah Shipe (Northumberland, Pa./Northumberland Christian) needed only 32 seconds to get on the board.  Wingerden easily redirected Shipe’s end line pass into the net for an early 1-0 advantage.

The Falcons refused to sit back and give it to the Warriors as they tied the score in the 31^st minute with a goal from Danielle Skinner.

Both defenses took over for nearly 50 minutes until sophomore Danielle Curry (West Chester, Pa./East) picked up her sixth assist of the season on a thru-ball to Shipe 84^th minute.  Lycoming’s leading goal scorer wrong-footed the keeper with a faked-shot move, dribbled around the defenseless net-minder, and deposited the ball between the goal posts to secure the victory.

Lycoming’s defense allowed only seven shots to the Falcons, making life much easier for keeper Jessica Bennett (Crofton, Md./South River) than it was a game ago.  Bennett recorded four saves in the effort.

Lycoming is next in action on Wednesday, September 28, against the University of Scranton.  Game time is set for 4:00 p.m. at the Shangraw Athletic Complex.
