The Shippensburg University men's soccer team received goals from senior
Derrick Roy and junior
Derek Adams in a three-minute stretch of the first half on Wednesday night to achieve an important conference road win, 2-1 at Lock Haven.
Shippensburg (5-7-2, 3-5 PSAC) out-shot Lock Haven (5-8-1, 4-4) 11-8 and managed 11 corner kicks. SU opened the scoring with Roy's second goal of the year in the 34th minute after the senior forward completed a run off an Adams feed by getting past a defender and shooting near post.
In the 37th minute, Adams collected a pass from graduate
Renaldo Garcia that went off a defender before he collected and shot the ball far post for his second goal of the year.
The Raiders nearly added to their lead multiple times in the first 10 minutes of the second half, as sophomore
David Katz and Garcia combined to hit each post before junior
Brooke Moyer had a header that went off the crossbar.
The Haven goal came in the 71st minute on a header that deflected into the goal. The Raiders limited the Bald Eagles to just one shot and one corner in the final 15 minutes of play.
Sophomore
Evan Raimist made three saves in the victory, all of which came in the first half.
