BLOOMSBURG, Pa. – The Shippensburg University field hockey team extended its winning streak to four matches Saturday, using crisp passing and an aggressive offense to achieve a 3-0 road victory over Bloomsburg at Steph Pettit Stadium.
 
Shippensburg (6-1, 4-1 PSAC) opened the scoring at the 16-minute mark when senior Tori Ricker nudged in a ball at the left corner of the box after it was touched by sophomore Kendall Beck.
 
It was Ricker's team-leading seventh goal and marked the third time this season that she has opened the scoring in a game.
 
SU took a 2-0 lead into halftime after adding another tally at 24:14. Freshman Emily Barnard tipped in a long entry feed that came in from outside the scoring arc.
 
Barnard provided the only scoring of the second half by deflecting in a long feed from well outside the scoring arc sent in by senior Lucy Kauffman.
 
Freshman Ally Mooney got the win in goal, making two saves in just less than 65 minutes. Junior Taylor Webster came in for the final five-plus minutes and was busy, making five saves. Webster thwarted several attempts by Bloomsburg on a pair of untimed penalty corners at the end of the game.
 
Shippensburg returns home at 11 a.m. Saturday to face IUP.
