Meanwhile, the Huskies come into Tuesday's matchup with back-to-back shutout victories. On Saturday, it was freshman
Megan Callan (Eldersburg, Md./Century)'s goal in the 89th minute that lifted Bloomsburg over California (PA) 1-0. Bloomsburg has not allowed a goal in three straight matches.

LAST TIME OUT

Megan Callan (Eldersburg, Md./Century) scored with 45 seconds left in regulation to lift Bloomsburg to a 1-0 victory at California (PA) on Saturday afternoon. The Huskies dominated most of the match as Bloomsburg held a 14-2 advantage in shots and a 6-1 edge in corner kicks. Sophomore
Devon Haviland (Warminster, Pa./Archbishop Wood) needed to make just one save to post her PSAC-leading fifth shutout of the season.
Shippensburg suffered its second straight 2-1 overtime loss on Saturday, this time at the hands of PSAC-leading West Chester, on Saturday in Shippensburg. The Raiders' Ashley Weaver tied the match at 1-1 with just under two minutes. But, the Raiders lost the game on an own goal just 56 seconds into the first overtime. Raiders' goalkeeper Leah Roy stopped seven shots in the loss.
