Women’s Soccer rolls by IUP for important PSAC win

Marah Foltz scored two goals and the LHU women’s soccer team moved closer to securing a PSAC playoff spot with a 3-0 win at IUP.

INDIANA, Pa. – The Lock Haven University women's soccer team (9-3-1, 9-3-1 PSAC) moved one step closer to securing a spot in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) playoffs, thanks a dominating 3-0 conference win this afternoon at IUP (7-7-1, 5-7-1 PSAC).
 
Marah Foltz (Mountville, Pa./Hempfield) scored twice and Haleigh Swam (Westminster, Md./Winters Mill) added a goal.
 
It marked Foltz's fifth two-goal game of the season and it helped Lock Haven improve to 9-3-1 on the season. The nine wins are the most since LHU won nine games during the 2008 season.
 
Foltz put Lock Haven up 1-0 just 10 seconds before halftime. The goal marked her 12th of the season and the Bald Eagles led 1-0 after 45 minutes thanks to Foltz's late first-half tally, which came from the penalty spot.
 
Foltz was at it again in the 66th minute, but she fired the ball off the post. Shortly after hitting the post, she redeemed herself and scored her second goal of the game. Her team-leading 13th goal of the season came in the 70th minute, and made it 2-0 Lock Haven. Foltz fired the ball into the corner after she collected a perfect through ball from Haley Predix (Lewistown, Pa./Mifflin County).
 
Swam made it 3-0 in the 74th minute after she chipped the IUP goalkeeper after grabbing a failed clear attempt.
 
LHU goalkeeper Bree Hilty (Lock Haven, Pa./Central Mountain) finished with five saves in the clean-sheet-win.
 
It was another all-around strong defensive effort from everyone in the lineup that helped pitch the LHU-shutout, the team's fourth of the season.
 
The Bald Eagles will host Mansfield on Homecoming Saturday (Oct. 20) at 5 p.m. at Hubert Jack Stadium. It's also Senior Day for LHU.
