SHIPPENSBURG - East Stroudsburg University scored all four of its goals in the first 26 minutes, including a goal and an assist from sophomore forward Jules Sicker, in posting a 4-0 shutout at Shippensburg in PSAC women's soccer on Wednesday night at David See Field.

ESU (6-2-1, 6-2), which won for the sixth time in its last seven PSAC games, netted all four in just under 11 minutes.

Senior goalkeeper Jules Harris made two saves for her 32nd career shutout, and 26th solo shutout, extending both school records. She improves to 51-14-5 in 70 career starts, earning her 50th career win in a 2-1 victory vs. Millersville last Sunday.

ESU had a 24-7 advantage in shots in the contest, 13-4 in the first half and 11-3 in the second half.

Sophomore midfielder Danielle Cary opened the scoring in the 15th minute, finishing a cross from sophomore back Hannah Saggese.

The next two goals were scored in the 22nd minute, 44 seconds apart. Sophomore back Jessica Woodbyrne scored from 25 yards out, assisted by senior midfielder Sammi Otiz, and Sicker scored on an assist from junior forward Alex Pickett.

Sophomore forward Monica Wood finished ESU's ledger in the 26th minute, assisted by Sicker, who pushed her team-leading totals to six goals and three assists for 15 points.

The four goals in the first 25:19 are ESU's fastest since at least 2003, edging four in the first 26:42 in a 4-0 win vs. Molloy in 2012.

Cary had her third goal of the season and the sixth of her career, and Woodbyrne and Wood both had their third goals of the year.

Ortiz, who made her 77th straight start, had her first point of the season with the assist on Woodbyrne's goal. A two-time All-Region selection on ESU's three-time PSAC championship teams, Ortiz entered the season with nine career goals and five assists.

Delaney Shifflett started and played the first 33:31 for Ship (2-6-1, 1-6) before leaving due to injury. Kayla Kennedy played the final 56:29. Both goalkeepers made four saves.

ESU hosts Slippery Rock (5-3-1, 5-2) on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. The Rock has won two of its last three, including a 2-1 win vs. Seton Hill on Wednesday.

GAME NOTES
* Pickett's assist gives her 50 career points (20 goals, 10 assists), the 12th ESU player to reach that milestone. She led the Atlantic Region with 14 goals and 33 points as a sophomore and was a consensus 1st team All-Region selection.
