SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. -- In its final road game of the regular season, the East Stroudsburg University women's soccer team picked up two points in the conference standings with a 2-0 victory over Shippensburg at David See Field on Wednesday afternoon.

  • 42:39 | Gamber was able to track down a pass deep in the offensive zone from Olivia Shollenberger. Gamber quickly sent a perfectly placed cross to a sprinting Leffler, who was able to immediately put a foot on the ball and redirect it to the left side.
