Box Score

SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. - Senior goalkeeper Beth Long tied a school-record with her ninth shutout of the season while junior Gayle Kuntzmann scored her 12th goal of the season to help the Lady Raider soccer team exact revenge upon Mansfield with a 2-0 home victory on Tuesday afternoon at David See Field.

Shippensburg (10-7, 4-6 PSAC East) remains in competition for a playoff spot in the PSAC Eastern Division following Bloomsburg's 2-1 victory over East Stroudsburg late Tuesday night. The Lady Raiders currently sit in fifth place with 12 points, just one point behind the Warriors.

Kuntzmann netted her goal in the 57th minute off an assist from freshman Brittany Hibshmann that followed a free kick. Hibshmann's excellent through ball soared over everyone and onto the foot of Kuntzmann, who tapped it in for her fourth game-winning goal of the season.

The junior forward has tied her career-high for goals in a single season that was set in 2006 as a freshman and has totaled 33 career goals. Lady Raider alum Lisa Trombetta '00 holds the school records for goals in a season (18) and career (51).

Defensively, Long tied the single-season record for shutouts that was originally set by Meredith Yakscoe-Markle '06 as a freshman. For her career, Long has 19 shutouts in 54 career games while making 352 career saves. Yakscoe-Markle currently holds the school records for career shutouts (23) and saves (388).

Additionally, sophomore Amanda Greenawalt scored her sixth goal of the season off an assist from Kuntzmann in the 85th minute to round out the scoring. Greenawalt has now scored in back-to-back games.

Shippensburg will recognize Long, senior Kellye Von Stetten and Kristen Mack in pre-game ceremonies on Senior Day at 1 p.m. this Saturday against Millersville from David See Field.
