Torrid first half propels SHIP U. Men’s Soccer to 3-1 victory over Bloomsburg

The Shippensburg University men’s soccer team scored three first-half goals to defeat Bloomsburg 3-1 Wednesday night at David See Field.

Shippensburg improved to 1-0-2 overall and 1-0 in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Eastern Division. Bloomsburg fell to 3-2 overall and 0-1 in conference play.

Nate Herb opened the scoring in the 13th minute, heading a corner kick from Mathieu Barbirati into the net. Zac Slevin scored his first collegiate goal in the 32nd minute on a volley following a header from Cam Henry.

Herb scored again six minutes later, connecting on an Evan Brandt free kick for his second goal of the match.

Bloomsburg increased its offensive pressure in the second half but finished with three shots on goal. Owen Hollobaugh scored the Huskies’ only goal late in the match. Shippensburg goalkeeper Ryan Krumenacker recorded two saves.

The victory was Shippensburg’s first over Bloomsburg since Sept. 18, 2019, and its first PSAC East win since defeating West Chester on Sept. 25, 2024.
