Box Score

SHIPPENSBURG – Dave Rostad scored the game's only goal 3:49 into the second half as Shippensburg upset No. 20 East Stroudsburg University, 1-0, in PSAC men's soccer on Wednesday night at David See Field.

The Warriors (8-3, 4-3) went down to 10 men after a red card in the 37th minute, and the Raiders (6-5, 2-3) capitalized early in the second period on Rostad's unassisted goal, his third of the season.

ESU managed just one shot on goal, coming in the third minute of the game, and had only three shots compared to 13 for homestanding Shippensburg. The Warriors were also playing without their top scorer, senior forward Shastri Spencer, who will return for Saturday's game vs. California.

Senior goalkeeper Troy Hernandez made two saves for ESU, while Shippensburg's Clay Sale had one save and posted his third shutout of the season.

The loss ends ESU's 12-game winning streak in the series, stretching back to the 2002 season, when Shippensburg's 3-2 win was the only blemish on a 16-1-2 regular season.

The Warriors' first two losses of the year came to teams ranked in the top 10 in the NSCAA Division II poll - 2-0 vs. No. 9 Slippery Rock, and 1-0 at No. 10 Mercyhurst.

ESU, listed at No. 5 in this week's NCAA Division II Atlantic Region rankings and No. 20 in the nation by the NSCAA, hosts California (No. 3, NCAA Atlantic Region) on Saturday night at Eiler-Martin Stadium. The PSAC men's soccer tilt will follow the Warriors' football game vs. Kutztown at 2 p.m.
