EDINBORO, Pa. – The Shippensburg University women's lacrosse team received another dynamic performance from junior Lindsey Kennedy on Friday afternoon from Sox Harrison Stadium as the Raiders continued their winning ways with a 9-6 road victory over Edinboro.

Shippensburg (5-2, 1-1 PSAC) used steady defense en route to its victory on Friday, allowing just two goals in the first half and six in the contest. The six goals are the fewest allowed by the Raiders in a game since defeating Bloomsburg last season, 8-6, on April 6. The halftime score of Friday's game was just 3-2 in favor of Shippensburg.

Kennedy continues to play well, scoring a game-high four goals to go along with two assists. She also won a team-high three draw controls and tied for the team high with three groundball pickups. Her hat trick is the third she has recorded this season and is the ninth of her career.

Freshman Courtney Kennedy had two goals, two assists and three groundballs on Friday. Her goal at the 9:59 mark of the first half gave Shippensburg a 2-1 advantage. She added another tally nine minutes into the second half.

Sophomore Bennett Widlake scored twice in the second half in addition to recording two caused turnovers, and two groundballs. Senior Lauren Hauck scored the last goal of the game with less than five minutes of play after the Fighting Scots had gotten within two goals of the Raiders.

Senior Ali Cross made six saves to record her third victory of the season. Sophomore Liz French collected two groundballs and had two caused turnovers while junior defender Jenna Simmons tallied three groundball pickups.

Shippensburg will hop on Interstate 79 to face Slippery Rock tomorrow from Mihalik-Thompson Stadium.  The contest is billed as a “Stick it to Cancer” event in which proceeds will be collected to benefit the Headstrong Foundation, which raises funds and awareness in the fight against blood cancer. Both the Raiders and The Rock will wear special lime green Headstrong t-shirts during pregame warm-ups.
