Box Score SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. – Shippensburg's Jeff Ballard scored the game's only goal of the match and the Red Raiders edged the Lock Haven University men's soccer team 1-0 today in PSAC action.
 
With the loss, Lock Haven falls to 4-8 overall and 2-5 in PSAC play. Shippensburg moves to 6-5-1 and 3-3 in conference play.
 
Ship's goal came in the 79th minute when Ballard knocked home a pass from Derrick Roy.
