LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – On a chilly afternoon here in Lock Haven the action was hot on the field. The Lock Haven University women's soccer team (3-10-2, 3-10-1 PSACE) fell to visiting East Stroudsburg (14-4, 11-3 PSACE) by a final score of 3-2.
The first half had no shortage of action as there were four total goals. Two coming from ESU and two from LHU.
The Warriors scored the first two goals of the game scoring in the 6th minute and the 21st minute respectively.
The Bald Eagles would not go away. Just 10 seconds after the Warriors scored their second goal, Josie Swartz (Mifflintown, Pa./Junita) got the ball off the opening kick-off, sliced through the ESU defense for her third goal of the year.
Just before halftime, Megan Ramaley (Aliquippa, Pa./ Hopewell) was able find the equalizer for the Bald Eagles.
