Box Score

SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. - Senior Austin Alfonsi scored on Senior Day this Wednesday afternoon at David See Field, but the Red Raiders could not hold a one-goal lead and dropped a 3-1 decision to visiting Seton Hill in the final home game of the season.

Shippensburg (1-13-3) remained even in shots with Seton Hill (9-9-2), but could only come up with the first goal of the game. In the 29th minute, sophomore Scott Smith sent a beautiful, dipping cross into the box that Alfonsi headed into the cage to give the Red Raiders a lead.

Just five minutes later, Doug Schmitt ripped a volley into the top portion of the cage to tie the score at 1-1. The Griffins took the lead just over three minutes later when Mike Pistentis finished a loose ball in the box.

Red-shirt senior Brad Patke made four saves in the loss, extending his conference-leading total to 107 through 17 games.

The Shippensburg senior class of Alfonsi, Brad Anderson, Patke and Mark Thompson has been a part of 20 victories since 2005 and combined for 225 appearances for the Red Raider soccer team.

Shippensburg closes out its regular season on Saturday at West Chester. The match begins at 2 p.m.
