Game 11 - Mansfield

Today's game was a good gritty win for LHU. The lady eagles were able to come out of today's match up with a 1-0 win scoring late in the game.

Mansfield played a tough, hard hitting, and scrappy battle today, however, our players were able to find the holes in the defense. Carly D'Orsaneo on the left was able to expose their right side - time and time again. Just 15 minutes into the match she sent a ball off the crossbar, immediately challenging the keeper. Despite our efforts the first half ended 0-0 with a great effort from both teams.

Our defense continued to lock down and stay strong through the second half as we changed our formation, pushing up for a more offensive presence. The change of formation worked wonders as Janine McCarthy was able to break free on the right side setting up Arielle Gordon for a chip shot that sailed over the keeper with 21 minutes left. Mansfield never backed down, playing until the final minutes. Other players making a great effort for Lock Haven today were Rachel Rorke (who came up with some serious offensive plays), as well as Courtney Johnson (who also was able to add to LHU's attack)

We take the field again on Tuesday for a home match against Gannon. Great win today!
