Mansfield Pa. - The Millersville women's soccer team routed Mansfield 3-1 Saturday afternoon at Karl Van Norman Field. Midfielders Kelsey Mattola, Logan Neiman, and Halie Parker each netted a goal for the Marauders, improving to a 3-2 record both overall and in the PSAC. 
 
Millersville was able to strike first as Halie Parker out-paced the Mountaineer defenders and ripped a shot from 20-yards out that beat goalkeeper Alana Greenawalt. Parker now leads Millersville in goals for the season with three so far which is good for six points for the sophomore midfielder.
 
With the score still 1-0 in the 32nd minute Mansfield was able to equalize when Kelsey Chapman dribbled the ball inside the box and slid it past a diving Olivia Webber. The score remained 1-1 into the half-time break. Mansfield played a better statistical first half than Millersville, outshooting the Marauders, 8-5. The Mountaineers were also able to get four corner kicks compared to the one Millersville attempted.
 
But it was all Marauders in the second half as they came out dominating possession and outshot Mansfield, 11-4. With all the pressure on the Mountaineer defensive third, Millersville was bound to break free for another goal. It finally happened in the 65th minute when Logan Neiman shot the ball from 16 yards out that was just out of the reach of the outstretched arms of Alana Greenawalt.
 
Millersville added an insurance goal eight minutes later when Kelsey Mattola netted her ninth career goal that sealed the Marauder victory.
 
The Marauders stay on the road for their next match. They travel to Clarion to battle the 2-4 Golden Eagles. Kick-off is scheduled for Wednesday Sept. 24 at 6 p.m.
