University, 4-0
Box
Score
Houghton, N.Y. -
Bloomsburg University showed why they were ranked #1 in NCAA Div. II today in
their win over the Houghton Highlanders, 4-0. The Lady Huskies looked and played
the role as the superior team moving and controlling possession of the ball with
ease against an outnumbered Highlander team.
One
bright spot of the afternoon was
Sr. Erin
Frederick
(Wilmington, DE)
who had a busy career day
in goal tallying 26 saves for the day, good enough for third on the all time
list for saves in a games tying Peggy Wraight (1984).
The
Highlanders walked away from the game knowing that they are capable of playing
with the best, even under circumstances with key players still unavailable due
to injury.
The
Highlander next game is away against University of Rochester on October 12th
at 4:00 pm. The Highlanders record now moves to 6-4 for the season.

are working together to change the culture of sport and
