Stevenson scored three minutes into the game and junior midfielder Melanie Shambaugh and sophomore midfielder Karisa Turner also scored first-half goals for ESU (6-2), which posted a 1-0 (OT) win at No. 2 Shippensburg on Saturday on a goal by senior back Emily Howell.

Freshman midfielder Sara Ober scored in the second half for the Warriors.

Shambaugh and Ober both scored their first career goals. Turner's goal was her second of the season, and also the second of her career.

Sophomore midfielder Paige Harrold assisted on Stevenson's opener, and freshman midfielder Kristen English assisted on Ober's goal for her first career point.

ESU held a 43-0 advantage in shots and had 20 penalty corners.

Three ESU goalkeepers saw action with senior Danielle Ard playing the first 13:05, junior Halle Frisco playing 27:00 spanning the first and second halves, and freshman Maddie Richie playing the final 29:55.
