Game vs Edinboro

2 Well Deserved Goals Bring Haven to Victory Over The Fighting Scots!

Another match up that brought on overtime, and another win for the ladies of Lock Haven - with just 2 games remaining in our regular season not one team in the PSAC can say that LHU didn't give them a run for their money. With the win vs Edinboro on this past Saturday the Lady Eagles have reached 8-8-1 (500), a season goal. This win also brings LHU to 26 goals for and 28 against - with just two games remaining it is quite possible that with the way LHU has been playing we can finish over 500 with more goals for than against - quite a success with just a young team.

Saturdays game started out on a sour note when Edinboro capitalized on a Penalty Kick granted due to a foul against Jessie Cox. The score didn't change as the first 45 minutes came to a close. Both Lock Haven and Edinboro had a few opportunities but neither team finished their chances.

The second half was a different story - LHU came out blazing and didn't back down, towards the end of the half Sophomore Arielle Gordon challenged the Edinboro keeper with a hard struck ball, too tough to handle as the ball we deflected to the head of Senior Captain Lindsey Blessing. Blessing was able to head the ball to the feet of Gordon who put The Haven dead even with Edinboro. Gordon's goal would be the last goal of regulation.

Overtime was full of emotion for the lady eagles as Junior Heidi Weller went on a breakaway 1 on 1 with the Edinboro Keeper and tripped over the ball (in typical Heidi fashion)... although instead of laughing at herself she lay on the ground.... as LHU collected themselves - Heidi limped off the field (she's recovering now - no worries), The first 10 minutes of OT was over and the game was still deadlocked at 1 all. The last 10 minutes of the OT were different, Junior Kellie Wieger was able to put the game away with just a few minutes left on the clock.... Once again LHU came out with a win and once again proved themselves to be a team to battle with.
