Box Score
BLOOMSBURG - Bloomsburg scored two second-half goals after converting a penalty kick in the first half, handing East Stroudsburg University a 3-0 loss in PSAC women's soccer on Sunday afternoon.
Lauren Hoelke scored from the spot in the 21st minute, and Allie Barber (54th minute) and Maggie McDonald (83rd) added to the lead for Bloomsburg (8-4-2, 7-4-2).
ESU (9-3-2, 9-3-1), which was 6-0-1 in its last seven games, yielded three goals for the first time in 58 games, since a 3-2 loss at Shippensburg in the second game of the 2015 season which ended a school-record 22-game unbeaten streak for the Warriors.
Senior midfielder
Sammi Ortiz set ESU's career record with her 82nd start - every game of her career - surpassing former teammate and two-time All-America midfielder
Shea Neal, who started 81 games from 2013-16.
The Warriors are now 59-16-7 since the start of the 2014 season, winning each of the last three PSAC championships. Ortiz is a two-time All-Region selection and two-time All-PSAC selection, including first team all-conference honors as a junior last season. She has nine career goals and seven assists, including the second goal to seal a 2-0 win vs. Edinboro in the 2015 NCAA Division II Atlantic Region championship game that delivered ESU's first-ever regional title.
ESU has dropped three of its last four trips to Bloomsburg, including 2-0 last year. The Huskies had a 12-6 advantage in shots and held the Warriors to one shot in the second half.
Senior goalkeeper
Jules Harris had four saves for ESU, which had allowed just six goals in the first 13 games - one goal in six different games. Harris' season goals against average moves from 0.45 to 0.63. She is just over 13 minutes from setting ESU's career record for goalkeepers, currently 6,810 by Stacy Linzenbold (1995-98).
ESU hosts Kutztown in an important PSAC game on Wednesday at 7 p.m. at Eiler-Martin Stadium. KU (13-1, 11-1), ranked No. 2 in last week's United Soccer Coaches poll, fell 1-0 vs. IUP for its first loss of the season on Sunday. ESU has won two of the last three PSAC championships against Kutztown, 1-0 in 2014 and 2-1 in 2016.
