SHIP U. Women’s Soccer battles but falls to No. 19 Shepherd

The Shippensburg University women’s soccer team opened Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Eastern Division play Wednesday with a 2-0 loss to No. 19 Shepherd at David See Field.

The Raiders fell to 1-1-1 overall and 0-1 in conference play. Shepherd improved to 3-0 overall and 2-0 in the PSAC East.

Shepherd’s Reagan Ackerman scored in the 17th minute off an assist from Merritt Delk. Ackerman added her second goal in the 84th minute after Shippensburg goalkeeper Kirstin Brown made the initial save.

Brown finished with a season-high 10 saves, including a double save against Ackerman and Ella Morningstar early in the second half.

Shepherd held a 20-4 advantage in shots and a 12-1 edge in shots on goal. Shippensburg led 5-1 in corner kicks.

The Raiders nearly tied the match in the 82nd minute when Lannah Werynski sent a pass across the goal toward Katie Proctor, who narrowly missed the finish.
