Millersville, Pa. - The Millersville women's soccer team scored in the second minute of play but it wasn't able to hold onto the lead. The Marauders fell 3-2 to East Stroudsburg University on Tuesday afternoon at Pucillo Field.
 
The Warriors improved to 11-1 overall and are 10-1 in PSAC action. They earned their 11th straight victory and are currently ranked No. 6 in the current NSCAA Division II poll that was released earlier today. Millersville (6-5, 6-5 PSAC) stayed with the top team in the PSAC all afternoon, but it just didn't have enough firepower to keep pace.
 
Alexandrea Powell scored at the 2:00 mark, and it was only the third time all season East Stroudsburg fell behind in the game. Powell received a pass inside the box from Megan Newmister and fired a laser past Warrior goalkeeper Jules Harris for her second goal of 2014. But the Warriors answered right back as sophomore midfielder Shea Neal finished off a back-and-forth play started by forward Sammi Jo Hughes to tie the game 1-1 at the 3:13 mark.
 
East Stroudsburg pulled ahead late in the first half when defender Amanda Vojta delivered a perfect corner kick, which connected with teammate Brielyn Hackett who headed it past Marauder goalkeeper Olivia Webber in the 32nd minute. The Warriors held onto the 2-1 lead through halftime.
 
The Warriors were able to add an insurance effort in the 55th minute when Amanda Vojta scored her first colligate goal directly on a corner kick. Vojta was able to spin the ball just enough that it dipped past the outstretched arms of Olivia Webber and into the back of the net.
 
Millersville made things interesting at the 70:55 mark when sophomore defender Kaylie Cutlip scored her first collegiate goal. Cutlip gained outstanding positioning within the penalty box and headed a Emily Purcell corner past Jules Harris.
 
Today's match was the first time East Stroudsburg has allowed more than two goals in a single contest all season. For the game, the Warriors out-shot Millersville 19-12 and also held a 7-1 advantage in corner kicks.
 
Millersville now has it sights set on the No. 11-ranked West Chester squad. The Rams were just able to sneak by Shippensburg 1-0 on Tuesday afternoon. The game is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 18 at Rockwell Field in West Chester. Kickoff is scheduled at 12 p.m.
