SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. – The Shippensburg University women's soccer team got a goal in the 14th minute of play Tuesday evening from junior Casey Rightmyer and used that tally to stave off visiting Pitt-Johnstown, winning 1-0 in a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) matchup held under the lights at David See Field.
 
Shippensburg (2-2-1, 2-2-1 PSAC) held the territorial edge throughout the contest, posting a 24-7 advantage in shots and a 4-1 margin in corner kicks.
