SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. – The Shippensburg University field hockey team used four second-half goals Saturday morning to roar past Seton Hill, 5-0, in the first Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) matchup of the season from Robb Sports Complex.
 
Shippensburg (7-1, 1-0 PSAC) was fueled by a hat trick from senior Katelyn Grazan who upped her season goal total to eight.
 
Seton Hill (2-6, 0-1) managed to stave off several Raider scoring opportunities in the first half to only trail by one goal at the break.
 
Shippensburg caught fire after halftime with two goals separated by just 34 seconds in the 41st minute from Grazan and senior Cassie Rawa.
 
Freshman Hannah Selassie scored her first career goal off an assist from Rawa to extend the Raider advantage to four with 20 minutes left to play.
 
Grazan capped off Shippensburg's stellar second half with her third goal on the day in the 55th minute off an assist from sophomore Noelle Kephart.
 
Redshirt-sophomore goalkeeper Ally Mooney registered two saves to earn her sixth win of the season. Sophomore Catherine Matuszko relieved Mooney in the 60th minute and also registered two saves on the day.
 
Before the game, a pre-game ceremony was held in which the parents of the late Amanda Strous presented a check toward the creation of a scholarship in her name. Head Coach Bertie Landes and Amanda's parents each offered words to the crowd.
 
Shippensburg will return to action on Monday at 11 a.m. at Limestone for a non-conference matchup being held in Lynchburg, Va. The game is a road contest for the Raiders being held at a neutral site.
