The Shippensburg University women's soccer team kept it close on Saturday against Pennsylvania Student Athletic Conference (PSAC) Eastern division rival No.4 Kutztown but dropped a 1-0 decision at Keystone Field.
 
Shippensburg (2-4-1, 2-2-1 PSAC East) got another stellar effort from goalkeeper Kendra Barlow, whose 11 saves marked her second double-digit save performance of the season.
 
No. 4 Kutztown (6-0, 4-0) limited the Raiders to just one shot on goal while totaling 12 of its own. In the 41st minute, a pass from Gabby Kane was struck into the goal by Melissa Ulrich for the only tally of the match.
 
Shippensburg returns to action at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday at East Stroudsburg at Eiler-Martin Stadium. It will be the seventh road or neutral match out of the first eight this season for the Raiders.
