LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – The Lock Haven women’s soccer team scored twice in the first half to erase an early deficit and take down visiting Clarion, 2-1, in a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) West battle on Wednesday night at Hubert Jack Stadium.
With the win, Lock Haven (6-4-1 overall) remains unbeaten at home and picked up three points in the conference standings, where they improved to 5-3-1. Clarion falls to 4-4-2 overall and 3-4-2 in the PSAC West. The Haven also secured the season sweep against the Eagles.
Clarion opened the scoring in just the fourth minute of action to jump out in front 1-0.
However, Lock Haven answered with goals in the 12th and 21st minute to take a 2-1 lead, an advantage they would never relinquish.
Maci Shaffer and Lily O’Brien found the back of the net for the Bald Eagles, off a pair of helpers from Colleen Lloyd, while Shaffer assisted in the second goal to notch her third point of the match.
Clarion had a breakaway opportunity to even the score with eight minutes remaining, but Elizabeth Wolfe made a pitcher-perfect slide tackle to eliminate the chance for the Eagles.
After the first-half score, reigning PSAC West Defensive Athlete of the Week Devon Mason was perfect in net, while making four saves, to help secure the Lock Haven victory.
The Haven led the contest in total shots (12-6), shots on target (7-5) and corners (6-1). O’Brien, Shaffer and Bryn Constanzer all finished with two shots on goal.
