SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. – The Shippensburg University women's soccer team capitalized on two headers off accurate crosses to score both of its goals in a 2-0 victory Saturday over PSAC rival Bloomsburg, on a sunny and windy Senior Day afternoon from David See Field.
 
Shippensburg (4-7-3, 4-7-3 PSAC) scored its first goal in the 40th minute when freshman Mallory Patterson scored her first collegiate goal by heading in a well-placed cross from the right side of the goal by freshman Jenny Litz.
 
The second goal came in similar fashion, as junior Haley Jones lofted an accurate cross from the right side of the field into the box for junior Caitlin Sheehan to head past the goalkeeper at 68:23.
 
The Raiders held a 19-12 advantage in shots, while Bloomsburg (6-8-2, 5-8-2) led 6-5 in corner kicks.
 
Freshman Kayla Kennedy tallied six saves while collecting her fifth shutout of the season.
 
Kennedy is one of several outstanding freshmen that has been able to make a significant impact for the Raiders this season. With the goal from Patterson on Saturday, SU has now had four freshmen score a goal this season including Jenny Litz, Kat Hartner and Bailey Bzdak. Six of the team's 11 goals this season have come from freshmen while Litz leads the team with three scores.
 
Before the game, SU honored its senior class that includes Mackenzie Neal, Brooke Clippinger, Alyssa House and Carolyn Smith. Neal, who has not been able to play in a game since early last season, was given an honorary start.
 
The Raiders will play their final home game on Monday at 3 p.m. against Alderson Broaddus.
